Before Betting On England vs Colombia
A huge showdown is set at Stadium Australia this weekend, as the final place in the semi-finals will be determined in Sydney. England are now the clear favorites to win the competition following the USA’s departure, and they will be bidding to reach the final four for the third straight edition of the competition. However, the Lionesses are yet to reach the final of the competition, and have exited at this stage in three editions during the tournament’s history.
In fact, England’s record in the knockout stage at the competition has been poor in recent editions, as they have failed to win each of their last three matches in regular time. However, they were able to escape their round of 16 clash with Nigeria following a penalty shootout success earlier this week.
Colombia has been a standout nation throughout the Women’s World Cup, and there will be a lot of support for the South American nation in the stadium this weekend. They have exceeded all expectations Down Under this year, which is echoed by the fact that 75% of their wins at the Women’s World Cup have been recorded in this edition of the tournament.
However, they will be looking to make history this weekend, as only one previous South American nation has reached the final four, with Brazil achieving that feat in both 1999 and 2007. But, given their high performances throughout the competition, there will certainly be no surprise if Colombia are able to make it through to the next round.
