England are back in action on Friday, as they take on Denmark in an important Group D fixture. Both sides registered 1-0 wins in their opening game, although England’s defeat of Haiti was far from convincing.

England’s high expectations meant that the opening day victory over Haiti was greeted with muted enthusiasm. They needed a fantastic late save from Mary Earps to preserve their three points, and they struggled to break down a limited Haiti side.
Goals have been the main problem for England recently. It is now four games since they scored in open play, and manager Sarina Wiegman seems unsure of her best attacking lineup. Nevertheless, victory here will virtually assure them of a spot in the last sixteen.
Before the tournament, it looked like a straight race between Denmark and China for second spot in Group D. So Amalie Vangsgaard’s late winner against the Chinese has put them in pole position to qualify. Avoiding defeat against England would almost guarantee a first knockout appearance in 16 years for the Danes.
Denmark qualified for the tournament in style with a 100% record in qualifying. With key players such as captain Pernille Harder in excellent form, this looks like Denmark’s strongest squad since the mid 2000s.
England and Denmark have met 17 times previously. England lead the head to head 8-6 with three draws. Remarkably, both sides have scored 20 goals against each other. This will be their first ever meeting in the World Cup.
Our statistical highlight for the contest looks at the recent form of the two sides. Our aim is to help you assess the football betting odds and find your ideal wager for the game.
England are big favourites on most betting apps. You can find them at around 21/50 on most sites, with the Danes as long as 9/1. If you fancy betting a draw, you can find it at 7/2.
Expect England to perform much better than they did against Haiti. However, Denmark represents a big step up in opposition and will pose plenty of attacking threats.
As such, we think the Danes will find the scoresheet, but the Lionesses will have enough for all three points. That makes the 18/5 on both teams scoring in an England win look very appealing.
