To help you enjoy the game, we’ve looked at the biggest betting apps and put together our expert sports betting tip for the game.

England’s World Cup campaign stuttered initially with unconvincing 1-0 wins over Haiti and Denmark. However, they clicked into top gear with a superb 6-1 win over China in their final group game.

Lauren James has been the star of the show so far, with three fantastic goals. And with the likes of Lauren Hemp and Chloe Kelly also starting to find form, England seem to be hitting top gear at exactly the right time.

Nigeria’s 3-2 victory over Australia was one of the biggest shocks of the World Cup so far. That win, together with solid 0-0 draws in their other games, ensured Nigeria progressed to the last 16 for the second time in their history.

The first time was in 2019 when they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Germany. Overall, this looks to be a stronger Nigerian side, but they will have their work cut out against one of the best teams in the competition.

England and Nigeria have only met once before in competitive action. That game occurred at the 1995 World Cup and resulted in an exciting 3-2 victory for England. This will be the two sides' first encounter in any game since then.

If you are looking for a betting bonus for the game, our statistical highlights are here to help. They look at the recent form of the two sides and will help give you an edge when looking at the football betting odds.

England are big favourites to progress in this one. Most leading bookies have them as short as 1/4 to win within 90 minutes. If you think Nigeria can cause an upset, they are priced at a huge 12/1, with the draw at 4/1.

If England can get anywhere near to the level they showed against China, they will have no problems at all here. Lauren James looks like being one of the stars of the tournament and the 7.2 on her finding the net looks like an excellent bet.

Whilst tipping an England win at 1/4 does not represent the most adventurous betting option, it is a solid option. Anything other than a Three Lions win would represent a huge shock. Your best option for the game is to include an England win as part of a last 16 acca bet that includes some of the closer games from the round.
