England will face Spain this Wednesday evening in the UEFA female nations at the Wembley stadium.
The two parties will come together for the first time since the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023, where Spain won the winner 1-0 thanks to a first half of Olga Carmona.
None of the two teams proved to be very convincing on the day of the League of Nations, while Spain was a deficit of 2-0 to win a 3-2 victory in Belgium in dying moments. As for the lionesses, an equalizer of the second half of the Barcelona striker, Kika Nazereth, saw the Sarina Wiegman team going to Portugal with a single point.
The two desperate parts to prove their strength before the European championship this summer, the successful game under the arc of the Wembley stadium will certainly be entertained.

Lucy Bronze was adopted in shape before it, after being removed as a precaution against Portugal, and Wiegman noted any new injury when she spoke to the press on Tuesday.
England is without pillars Lauren le hemp and Georgia Stanway in this team after the pair has each underwent knee surgery in recent months. Questions have been asked about how Sarina Wiegman would replace Stanway who has been a key player for lionesses in recent years.
Grace Clinton entered the departure training in Portugal last week and presented a solid display of the center of the midfielder, but still has improvements to make.
England planned for programming compared to Spain (4-3-3): Effective; Bronze, Bright, Williamson, Charles; Walsh, Toone, Clinton; Park, Russo, James
Spain will be hampered by the absence of the winner of the Ballon d’Or Alexia Potellas while they come up against the European champions in Wembley after the striker has injured his ankle with Barcelona.
It was Cristina Martin-Prieto de Benfica who helped the Spanish attack last week against Belgium, marking in the 96th minute to save the three points. The side of Montse Tome will count on the same magic of the plethora of talent on their bench in order to test the trembling lionesses.
Mariona Caldentey, Ona Batlle, Lucia Garcia, Laia Aleixandri and Leila Ouahabi are all names familiar to the WSL public, past or present.
Spain predicted the VS England programming (4-3-4): Coll; Batlle, Aleixandri, Paredes, Ouahabi; Abelleira, Bonmati, Lopez; Caldentey, paralleulo, Pina
This blockbuster will be difficult to call, especially given the fact that no party has been at its best in recent months. Spain has won three victories in their last five games, while the lionesses only won two victories at that time.
With the euros looming on the horizon, the two nations hope to use this luminaire as a way to measure their level again. Sarina Wiegman will have to make changes to an earlier pace to ensure that England does not lose sight of the game, where volume may need to think about the departure formation of Spain.
The two parties organize a plethora of fascinating talents in attack, while their defenses have left a lot to be desired. The match under the ark of the Wembley stadium will be far too close to call.
