England clicked into gear during their win over China as they prepare to meet Nigeria in the Women’s World Cup.
Prior to their huge win earlier this week, the Lionesses were not exactly setting the tournament alight.
Still, Sarina Wiegman’s side are back amongst the goals as they look to make it into the quarter-finals.
Nigeria, meanwhile, are making their third appearance at this stage after finishing second behind Australia.
Here’s everything you need to know.
England vs Nigeria is scheduled for an 8.30am BST kick-off time on Monday August 7, 2023.
The Brisbane Stadium in Brisbane, Australia will host.
Wiegman adopted a new approach against China and it appeared to bring out the best of the attack.
Still, with the stakes so high, it would hardly be a surprise to see her revert to type. Lauren James will continue and Keira Walsh is out, while Katie Zelem will likely start.
Into their groove now, it would be foolish to bet against England.
England to win 3-0.
England wins: 1
Draws: 0
Nigeria wins: 2
England to win: 1/4
Draw: 4/1
