China vs England Women’s FIFA World Cup 8/1/2023 Analysis, Game Tips and Picks
England won all three of their early games in the group round of competition, starting with a tight 1-0 victory against Haiti in which Kiera Walsh suffered a knee injury. In its second encounter on the stage, England defeated Denmark 1-0. Lauren James of Chelsea scored the game-winning goal for England in the first half, and despite Haiti’s attempts to score in the second half, they were unsuccessful.
If England wins all three games on Tuesday, they go to the round of 16, although Denmark’s defeat and England’s win would affect goals scored. In the last group stage match, Laura Coombs will take Walsh’s position; Walsh will not be playing for England. Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly, and James, who scored for England against Haiti while making her debut, will continue to play up front.
England comes into the contest off back-to-back 1-0 victories in their opening two games. Nevertheless, the victory over Denmark had a price. Kiera Walsh, their star player, suffered a knee injury. Her absence was felt during the game, which she will miss. Lauren James gave England a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute, and they went on to have five more attempts, three of which found the target before the injury. Following the injury, England would only attempt seven more attempts in the last hour, all unsuccessful. There is only one backward path to England. It would be necessary for Denmark to win by two goals or more and for Sweden to lose this game.
China va England. With two consecutive 1-0 victories in group-stage play, England has not been in its best shape. However, on Tuesday against China, it will pick up the pace and take all three points to ensure they finish first in the group and advance to play the second-place finisher from another group.
Despite not having demonstrated it thus far in the World Cup, England has the superior team in this match. Still, they can relax and play a possession game as they need a draw to advance. In the meanwhile, China must triumph to progress. They could press hard since they have nothing to lose in this one. Prediction: England will win this match predicted at 3-1.
