The Women’s World Cup action continues in Group D on Friday morning, as two of the leading contenders to reach the round of 16 lock horns. There will be pressure on England, as they haven’t scored a goal from open-play in their last four internationals, while Denmark could register a second straight win.
Before Betting On England vs Denmark
The second round of matches in Group D at the Women’s World Cup take place on Friday, and there is a standout match taking place in Sydney, as England look to secure their spot in the next round with a second straight win. Denmark will also have their sights set on the same target, but both sides will be wary of going into their final match needing a result to secure a place in the next round.
There will certainly be pressure on England, as one of the hot favorites for World Cup success have continued to struggle in the final third of the field. They landed a 1-0 win over Haiti in their opening match, but their only goal was scored from the penalty spot, meaning that their long wait for a goal in open play continues.
Denmark also narrowly avoided a disappointing draw in their opening match, as they netted a winning goal in the 90th minute to register a 1-0 victory over China in Perth. The advantage is currently with the Danes, as they sit top of Group D courtesy of their superior fair play ranking over England.
These two nations have been no strangers to each other, as this will be the 18th time that they have locked horns. England holds a slender advantage, having won on eight occasions compared to six wins for Denmark. However, the Lionesses has won each of the previous three against Denmark, which includes a 2-0 friendly win in May 2019.
England has an excellent record against European opposition at the World Cup, as they have won four of their last five. Meanwhile, Denmark has suffered defeats in each of their last three matches at the competition against nations from the continent. But, this is their first meeting against a European nation since a 3-1 loss against Norway in 1995.
