Both sides have been phenomenal in the knockout stage, and both have been resilient when faced with pressure.

The Lionesses have the better overall squad and more importantly, have the better defensive record in this tournament. Spain have been vulnerable in the counterattack in this competition, and that’s where England tend to find goals. Look for England to secure their first-ever championship in extra time or penalties.
