England vs. Haiti Prediction on July 22, 2023

Match info

On Saturday, July 22, at 7:30 p.m. (local time), at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, English football players will take on Haiti in an effort to start their 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign on the right foot. The match is good for Pool D’s Round 1 competition.

Meeting statistics

One year after claiming its first-ever European Championship title, England Women compete in the World Cup with the goal of adding the coveted trophy to their collection. The “Lionesses“ have advanced to the semifinals in each of the last two World Cups; they won a bronze medal in 2015 and placed fourth in the most recent tournament following a defeat to Sweden in the third-place play-off.

England qualified flawlessly for the World Cup this summer, winning all 10 of its games and amassing 80 goals while allowing none. The campaign was a part of Sarina Wiegman-led 30-game unbeaten streak for England. However, the streak has since ended after the Lionesses’ 0-2 loss against Australia in April. In their final pre-World Cup match, England also struggled when it was held to a scoreless draw by Portugal at Stadium MK earlier this month. England is the favorite to win its group, which also includes Denmark, China, and Haiti. It will attempt to start out well by defeating Haiti.

The Central American nation is one of eight nations that will be participating in the World Cup for the first time this summer. By placing third in their group in the CONCACAF Championship and moving on to the inter-confederation play-offs, Haiti earned a spot at the World Cup. There, Haiti won the play-off by defeating Chile 2-1 and Senegal 4-0 to advance to Pool D.

The World Cup’s buildup hasn’t exactly been stellar. Haiti has lost to Nigeria and South Korea (although beating Moldova) since defeating Chile in the inter-confederation play-off final, with the second of these losses being part of a World Cup warm-up.

Match analytics

Given how dangerous England has been in attack under Wiegman, its inability to score in its last two games is its worst goalless streak since April 2018. However, football in friendlies and official tournaments is entirely different, so Wiegman will be aware of what to do to get England going. With Alessia Russo serving as a much better impact substitute, Rachel Daly is set to start at center forward for the Lionesses. The Aston Villa striker enters the World Cup after scoring 22 goals in the Women’s Super League to earn the Golden Boot.

Even though England is predicted to win easily according to bookmakers with iOS apps, we should still show Haiti respect. Haiti will attempt to support the middle of the pitch in an effort to lessen the influence of Ella Toone, Lauren James, and the rest of the English team because recent games have shown that England can struggle to break down tight defenses.

Our verdict is: Rachel Daly to Score 2 or More at odds of 2.40 on Spreads.ca.
