Hosts of the 2025 UEFA Women's European Championship, Switzerland, will begin their tournament when they face Norway Women on Wednesday (July 2nd). The game will be played at St. Jakobs-Park.
The Swiss finalized their preparations for the tournament with a 4-1 victory over the Czech Republic in a friendly last week. They were 2-1 up at the break with Riola Xhemaili and Geraldine Reuteler scoring on either side of Barbora Polcarova. Smilla Vallotto and Svenja Folmi scored second-half goals.
Norway, meanwhile, were last in action when they claimed a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in the UEFA Women's Nations League at the start of June. Vilde Boe Risa's fourth-minute strike settled the contest.
The Scandinavians booked their spot in the Euros with a 7-0 aggregate win over Northern Ireland in the playoffs. Switzerland are here as hosts but also finished top of Group 1 in the Qualifiers. Both nations have been drawn alongside Finland and Iceland in Group A of the tournament.

Switzerland Women vs Norway Women Prediction
Switzerland might be the hosts of this tournament, but they are one of the less-fancied sides to make an impact. Pia Sundhage's side were winless in eight games but ended this poor run at the right time in their final pre-tournament friendly.
Norway are two-time winners of this tournament and were once the powerhouses of women's football. However, they have hit a nadir in the last few years and were eliminated in the group stage at the last tournament.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
