England’s slow start to the Women’s Euro 2025 means that they head into Wednesday night’s Group D match with the Netherlands desperate for a result.
The Lionesses were tamed in their opener with France, eventually losing 2-1 in a scoreline that ultimately flattered them. Their dominance with the ball (58% possession) was overshadowed by some sub-par finishing, resulting in a frustrating night for all involved.
England manager Sarina Wiegman said that the analysis of the game was “one of the most important of her career”, with the reality that improvements are essential if they want to progress to the knockout stage.
The system against France was flawed from the get-go. After 30 minutes, it was obvious that Wiegman’s gamble to field three players returning from injury wasn’t working, with Jess Carter, Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway struggling to get a foothold in the game.
But all is not lost for England’s women, and a win against the Netherlands will put their fate back into their own hands.
We’ve trawled the bookies for the latest odds and formed our England vs Netherlands betting tips and predictions, with a tidy 10/1 bet builder, where £10 bags you £110.

Bet 1: Match Result – England to Win (Odds 3/4)
England has a strong record over the Dutch, winning three of the last four encounters. Wednesday will be a tough game, and the Orange Lionesses looked compact and dangerous on the break in their 3-0 win over Wales.
Wiegman will have to adjust England's setup to nullify the speed the Dutch have going forward. But playing a slightly deeper backline should help England as it will negate the lack of pace in Greenwood and Williamson.
The bookies have them priced at 3/4 to win, which honestly, feels about right. The defeat to France will have seen the odds drift a little, but we’re backing England to get it right as we take advantage of that slight odds drift.
Bet 2: Vivianne Miedema to Score Anytime (Odds 11/5)
The word “legend” gets floated about all too often in sport these days, but there’s no better term to describe Vivianne Miedema. The 28-year-old bagged her 100th international goal in 126 games against Wales, and is rocketing her way to be a true GOAT of women’s Dutch football.
She looked as sharp as ever, and given England’s backline issues against France, she will get chances. What’s most impressive is her conversion rate. One hundred goals is outstanding at any stage, but to be at almost one goal per game makes it a serious problem for England.
Her anytime scorer odds of 11/5 suggest an implied probability of 31.3% which seems outrageously low. As a result, this is one of the best value bets from our England vs Netherlands betting tips and is an easy inclusion for the bet builder.
Bet 3: Over 3 Total Goals (Odds 2/1)
It’s a fixture that has historically been a goal-scoring machine. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of the last eight games and over three in four of the previous six.
We’ve the golden ticket of setups here as well, with both teams possessing tons of attacking ability, but also defensive vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Odds of 2/1 suggest a 33.3% chance, but the numbers just aren’t stacking up here. A fair line would be around even money, so we’re more than happy to get over three goals as the final part of our bet builder.
