England vs Denmark Prediction & Pick
Although both countries won their opening contest, I liked England's effort a bit more. The English squad got on the board in the first half and overwhelmed Haiti throughout the game, heavily leading in possession percentage (75% vs. 25%) and shots on goal (11-2).
On the other hand, Denmark was heading towards a draw until Amalie Vangsgaard scored in the 89th minute. Once the game ended, Denmark finished with the same shots on goal as China (two) and only held the ball for 56% of the contest. The Danes will need more control if they hope to upset the English.
With a pair of victories in its only two previous meetings with Denmark, I'm taking England to win. The Lionesses played like legitimate World Cup contenders in their first group-stage win and I expect them to ride that momentum into Thursday's collision.
Final Score Prediction:'England: 2 | Denmark: 0
England vs Denmark Best Bet
Oddsmakers are right to favor the Under on this match's 2.5-goal total. England and Denmark have experienced the Under on this prop in each of their last four outings, respectively. Additionally, Group D rivals averaged just 2.5 total goals in their two previous encounters, most recent ly finishing with a pair of markers in May 2019.
With the solid defense that England and Denmark displayed to open the tournament, it's best to keep goal-scoring expectations low in the coming days.
