Spain vs England - Match Preview

Spain host England knowing that only a victory keeps alive their hope of topping Group A3 - England enter this fixture three points clear at the summit, and a draw or a win sends the Lionesses straight to Brazil.

Entering the final matchday, England lead Group A3 with 12 points to Spain's 9. For Spain, the equation is stark: they must win and hope results elsewhere align. England, on the other hand, need only avoid defeat to clinch the group and secure automatic qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup. It is a high-stakes finale with the two finest women's teams in Europe in direct collision.

The backdrop adds further intensity to this meeting. Just six weeks earlier, on 14 April 2026 at Wembley, Lauren Hemp scored after just three minutes to hand England a 1-0 win - Spain's only defeat in this qualifying campaign. Now Montse Tomé's side have a chance to reverse that result on home turf at Son Moix. Behind the immediate group race lies a richer layer of rivalry: Spain are the reigning FIFA Women's World Cup holders, while England are the reigning European champions, having beaten Spain in the UEFA Women's EURO final on penalties. These are the two most decorated nations in European women's football right now, and only one of them walks away from Group A3 as champion.

Head-to-Head: Spain vs England

The H2H record between these sides in recent years is tightly contested, with the results alternating each time and no team managing to build any sustained dominance over the other.

The last three documented meetings between Spain and England women's teams are:

• 14 July 2024 - Women's European Championship Final - Spain 2:1 England
• 15 October 2018 - UEFA Nations League - Spain 2:3 England
• 8 September 2018 - UEFA Nations League - England 1:2 Spain

Spain - Recent Form

Spain have been dominant throughout Group A3 qualifying, scoring 11 goals in 4 matches - their only setback was a 1-0 defeat at Wembley on 14 April 2026, the sole occasion they have been beaten in this campaign.

In this qualifying campaign, Spain opened with a commanding 3-0 win over Iceland, followed by a 3-1 away victory in Ukraine. After the loss to England at Wembley, they responded emphatically with a 5-0 demolition of Ukraine at home. Three wins and one defeat from four matches reflects the quality of a squad that counts Alexia Putellas, Salma Paralluelo, and Olga Carmona among its ranks. Spain arrive at Son Moix with both the motivation and the firepower to make this a genuinely open contest.

England - Recent Form

England have been the standout team in Group A3, winning all 4 of their qualifying matches and conceding just 1 goal across those four games - the best defensive record in the group.

The Lionesses crushed Ukraine 6-1, claimed a disciplined 1-0 win away at Iceland in Reykjavik, then beat Spain 1-0 at Wembley on 14 April 2026 - a night that also saw Keira Walsh celebrate her 100th England cap and goalkeeper Hannah Hampton produce a series of key saves to preserve the clean sheet. England's form in this qualifying window shows a team that can both score freely and defend leads under pressure on the road. Sarina Wiegman's side need only one point in Mallorca to confirm their place at the 2027 Women's World Cup.
