England's 4-0 win over Netherlands on Wednesday can be filed under statement performance. Sarina Wiegman's side went into the game at risk of a premature elimination from Euro 2025 but came out of it with their reputation as pre-tournament favourites enhanced. A win against Wales will secure passage to quarterfinals.
The Welsh are on the brink of an exit after losses to Netherlands and France. But for the lowest-ranked team at Euro 2025, everything that has followed their historic qualification for a first-ever major tournament has been a bonus. The celebrations after Jess Fishlock's historic goal against France was evidence of this.
They won't want to end their campaign on a whimper, so you can expect a hard-fought contest against England.
Here's everything you need to know about the clash.

Team news:
There are no fresh injury concerns for either side going into this clash. After striking the right balance in her lineup against Netherlands, Sarina Wiegman will be reluctant to make changes against Wales. Lauren James was at her imperious best against the Dutch but given that she has recently returned from a lengthy injury layoff, Wiegman could be tempted to rest her.
Meanwhile for Wales, manager Rhian Wilkinson could hand former captain Sophie Ingle her first-ever Euros start. Ingle came off the bench against France to a thunderous reception from Wales fans in what was her first appearance in over a year after injuring her ACL last summer.
Head to Head:
This is the two sides' first-ever meeting at a major tournament. England have won three of the four matches they have played, with a goalless draw in 2018 being Wales' best showing against the Lionesses.
Best quote:
"She's on the field, and she scores that goal, and everyone knows that is one of those moments that we should celebrate. We should celebrate it properly, because they just don't come around these firsts very often."
