The final matches in Group D at the Women’s World Cup take place on Tuesday. It promises to be a fascinating final day of action, with England requiring maximum points to top the standings. However, China requires maximum points to finish in the top two spots.
Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview
The final matches in Group D take place on Tuesday, with England chasing maximum points to secure their position as group winners. The Lionesses haven’t been at their sparkling best throughout the competition to this point, as they have recorded back-to-back gritty 1-0 wins. Their most recent success was a win over Denmark, with England’s only goal coming after six minutes by Lauren James.
England have been excellent on matchday three at the group stage at the Women’s World Cup, as they have won each of their previous five. Meanwhile, the Lionesses have scored in each of their previous 15 matches at the Women’s World Cup. Over that period, they have netted 25 goals since the 2015 tournament. They could become the first nation to score in 16 straight matches on Tuesday.
China will be looking to avoid exiting the Women’s World Cup at the group stage for the first time in their history. However, they will face a huge challenge to achieve that feat, as they will likely need to win by at least a two-goal margin. China finally registered a first win at the competition on matchday two, as they scored a late penalty to land a 1-0 win over Haiti.
However, China has now failed to score in each of their last four matches at the World Cup against European opposition. Meanwhile, they have never lost a final group stage match at the Women’s World Cup.
China vs England Head to Head
This will be the sixth time that England and China have locked horns. The Lionesses have only won once in five previous encounters, with China recording three wins and a draw. However, the last clash between the sides came in 2015, with China winning 2-1.
China vs England Prediction
England hasn’t been at their best at the competition to this point, and their record against China can’t be overlooked. However, China has struggled in the final third in their opening two matches, which means that we will be siding with an England win on Tuesday.
