England will look to build on a hard-fought win over Haiti when facing Denmark in their second Women’s World Cup fixture in Sydney on Friday.
The Danes also made a successful start to their Group D campaign by edging out China and are just nine places lower down the FIFA rankings.
However, the Lionesses have won the last three head-to-head meetings between these sides, most recently prevailing 2-0 in a 2019 friendly.
We like 9/10 for the European champions to oblige and under 3.5 goals in the game for our first England Women vs Denmark Women prediction.
England had to rely on a re-taken Georgia Stanway penalty to shade a physically impressive Haiti outfit 1-0 in Brisbane.
That tight tussle extended the Lionesses’ worrying streak without a goal from open play to four games.
In fact, over seven hours of action have passed since Ella Toone netted against Brazil in April’s Women’s Finalissima.
However, defender Lucy Bronze is drawing on past experiences to remain cool, calm and collected ahead of this next test.
The Barcelona full-back said: “Well, in my first World Cup, we lost the first game and ended up finishing third.
“There’s only so much you can take from the game. The most important thing is it gives us momentum and it’s better than having to chase points, as we get to focus on the next two games.
“We’re playing against players we’ve never played before. It takes a little while to get into those games.
“Once we got going, you saw England coming back to life again. We need to do that more for longer.”
Goalkeeper Mary Earps was outstanding for England, who have now kept three straight clean sheets.
Looking at the England Women vs Denmark Women odds, the Lionesses are Evens to win to nil.
Amalie Vangsgaard grabbed a 90th-minute decider as Denmark beat China 1-0 in their opening Group D fixture.
The Danes finally forced the breakthrough when Pernille Harder’s cross was met by the PSG forward, who converted the chance past goalkeeper Xu Huan.
There was a hint of anxiety between the two sides early on as the contest became scrappy in the middle of the park.
China’s plan was well-executed and they began to reap the rewards of their work rate through a series of dangerous counter-attacks, one of which resulted in Zhang Linyan’s long-range effort being saved by Lene Christensen in the eighth minute.
Bayern Munich’s Harder spent the first half on the shoulder of China’s backline but found little to no service from her team-mates, who struggled to breach China’s compact defence as the two went into the interval goalless.
Denmark started positively after the break through Nicoline Sorensen, who forged a golden chance for Josefine Hasbo in the 51st minute only for the midfielder to fail to direct a free header on target.
Wang Shanshan’s blushes were avoided in the 74th minute when her headed clearance narrowly avoided the inside of her own post and moments later goalkeeper Huan did well to punch the ball away before a sea of red shirts were able to pounce on the loose ball.
However, Vangsgaard’s last-gasp intervention ensured Denmark began their campaign with three points.
Denmark’s recent record against elite-level opposition is moderate, though, losing 1-0 to France at Le Tournoi in February and going down 2-0 to Spain in this month’s warm-up match.
This promises to be another difficult task and 5/1 for the Lionesses to prevail 2-0 completes our England Women vs Denmark Women betting tips.
