England vs Nigeria preview
We have reached the business end of the competition as England and Nigeria clash for a place in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The Lionesses eased their way into the tournament with successive 1-0 victories over Haiti and Denmark before blasting China 6-1, claiming top spot in Group D.
England were under a bit of pressure to claim a point without influential midfielder Keira Walsh, but Sarina Wiegman unleashed her attacking talent and they delivered in spades.
Lauren James spearheaded that attack with a sensational individual performance, while the likes of Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly and striker Rachel Daly joined the party.
Nigeria, meanwhile, finished their Group B campaign behind co-hosts Australia with one victory against the Matildas, but drew their other two games 0-0 against Ireland and Canada.
England are now outright favourites to win the competition, and are priced at odds-on 1/5 to beat Nigeria, who are 40th in FIFA’s official rankings.

England vs Nigeria betting tips
Lauren James to score 2+ goals at 12/1 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
Who on earth would bet against Lauren James?
The Chelsea forward, 21, has the most goals and assists of any player at this year’s World Cup despite not starting England’s first game.
She scored the winner against Denmark with a thunderbolt from range, and followed that with a terrific brace against China along with three assists.
She’s had a total of five efforts on target in 180 minutes and scored three of those, and we think she could be primed for yet another devastating display.
England to win and 4+ goals scored in the match at 14/5 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
The handbrake is officially off.
After two fairly inauspicious victories, the Lionesses hit the goals button and it’s unlikely they’ll change their methods in the knockout stages.
Walsh’s absence has forced Wiegman to alter her formation and her array of attacking talent is evident for all to see.
That’s not to say Nigeria are pushovers. They certainly aren’t.
But their 3-2 win over Australia proves that they are prepared to fight fire with fire and are more than capable of scoring themselves having netted nine in their last six games.
A goal-frenzy with England on the winning end seems the most likely scenario, and we’re backing it at 14/5 with William Hill.
