England vs Spain Team News

The obvious big bit of team news is that Lauren James will be available for this fixture. She comes back after serving her two-match ban sustained against the Nigerians.

Whether she makes her way back into the side is a different story. The ladies that have stepped up in her absence have performed tremendously.

With this – Wiegman will no doubt remain relatively unchanged, with her already knowing her strongest side from previous games.

England vs Spain World Cup Final Prediction

Spain have already proven they’re a very good side. They defeated Sweden in the semi-final – one of the highest-ranked teams in the world.

However, there is just something about this Sarina Weigman side. They have so much quality, never give up and on their day could beat anyone.

Because of this, we genuinely think England will take home the World Cup.
