-------------------------------
England and Italy will compete in the Women's European Championship semi-final in Geneva. England reached this stage after a tense penalty shootout win over Sweden, while Italy secured their spot by scoring a late goal to defeat Norway in the quarter-finals.
Team Analysis:
England’s journey to the Women’s European Championship semi-final has been challenging compared to their 2022 title run. After an opening loss to France, they bounced back with strong wins over the Netherlands and Wales, narrowly advancing from their group. In the quarter-final against Sweden, England overcame a two-goal deficit late in the game to force penalties, ultimately winning after a tense shootout. Historically, England has a strong record against Italy, including a recent 5-1 win.
Italy, considered one of the tournament’s surprises, reached their first semi-final since 1997. They started with a win over Belgium and drew with Portugal, despite a loss to Spain, securing second place in their group. Italy then beat undefeated Norway with a late goal to advance. Though they have struggled against England recently, Italy have won most of their competitive matches historically, including a notable victory in 2009. Both teams now prepare for a high-stakes clash as England defends their title and Italy aims for a historic breakthrough.
Player Situation:
England captain Leah Williamson’s fitness is uncertain after an ankle injury in the quarter-final, with coach Wiegman likely to keep a consistent lineup if she recovers. This might leave Agyemang and Chloe Kelly on the bench despite their strong recent performances. Italy’s coach Soncin may switch to a three-center-back formation, possibly bringing back Martina Lenzini and Lisa Boattin. Girelli remains Italy’s key attacking player, having scored three goals so far in the tournament.
Result Prediction:
England has faced challenges but relied on their winning experience to advance, likely helping them overcome Italy, who haven’t reached this stage in 28 years.
Predicted Result: England Women 3-1 Italy Women.
