Team News

England
Nigeria
  • Keira Walsh is a doubt after picking up a knee injury against Denmark.
  • Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Lucy Bronze would miss the next match if they pick up another yellow card.
  • Oluwatosin Demehin, Michelle Alozie and Asisat Oshoala would miss the next match if they pick up another yellow card in this match.

Prediction

  • This matchup goes way back in World Cup history with the last meeting between these two sides happening in 1995 as England won 3-2 that day.
  • England rediscovered their goalscoring form in the last match with a 6-1 win against China and it took a formation change by Sarina Wiegman to happen. Keira Walsh is still a doubt for this game but the Lionesses coped well without her in the last match.
  • Nigeria have made to the round of 16 for the second World Cup running. They've made it to this stage by drawing with Canada and Republic of Ireland as well as beating hosts Australia. They are not a side to be underestimated and will make this a close match but ultimately, the Lionesses will have too much for them.

  • Lauren James stamping on the Nigerian player was shocking and she deserved the sending off.
