The Lioness began their journey with a scrappy (1-0) victory over a formidable Haiti side. Despite being their first bite of the tournament, Haiti looked dangerous and more composed. England looked very promising at the start of the game and were rewarded with a penalty after VAR review. Stanway missed from the spot; however, VAR intervened again, having spotted an encroachment off her line by Theus, and the Bayern Munich midfielder finally found the back of the net. After the goal, all their attempts were blocked or saved by the player of the game, Kerly Theus.
England sits in second spot on the log, and a victory here will see them qualify for the knockout phase.
The Sarina Wiegman team will hope to win the World Cup after success in the just concluded EUROPEAN Championship.
Possible Starting Eleven (4-3-3): Mary Earps; Lucy Bronze, Millie Bright, Jess Carter, Alex Greenwood; Georgia Stanway, Keira Walsh, Ella Toone; Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo, Lauren Hemp.

The Red and White commenced their campaign with a hard-fought victory over China. Denmark struggled against China but got all the points when Amalie Vangsgaard scored in the 89th minute.
Denmark head here with five wins and two defeats over their previous seven games in all competitions. Denmark's best result in this competition was a quarterfinal finish in 1991 and 1995.

Expert Betting Tips
England have won twice over their previous two meetings, scoring four while conceding once. Going by their performance against Haiti, it’s evident that the Lioness are missing key names, with captain Leah Williamson and European player of the tournament Beth Mead both sidelined through injury. England were below their standard and could have shared the spoils against the debutant Haiti. On the contrary, Denmark were also below average against China, and it’ll be interesting to see how they respond when they face the European Champions later tomorrow. After carefully analyzing both sides' recent performance, England are the clear favorite, and we trust they’ll get it right this time; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.90.
England have scored in each of their last thirteen Women's
World Cup matches the longest active streak in the competition since their defeat to France in 2015. Should England score in this encounter, they would equal the longest streak in tournament history. We expect the Lioness to get a halftime victory here for 2.03.
We are going to see more than two goals here for 2.22.
Good luck!
