England vs Nigeria Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Monday, 07 August 2023.
England are set to face Nigeria in the last 16 tie at Suncorp Stadium. England won their final group match 6-1 against China to finish first in Group D. They will now be hoping for a similar performance against an impressive Nigerian team.
Their opponent, Nigeria, drew 0-0 with Ireland in their final group match. However, it was enough to qualify, as they finished second in group B.
These two countries have only met once, in June 1995. England won 3-2 on that particular day.
We are counting on England to pull off a win here. They are undoubtedly the superior team here, and they have been in excellent form in this tournament. All three of their matches so far in this tournament have ended in victories, with them also scoring six goals last time out.
Nigeria, on the other hand, has had a few strong performances in the tournament but has historically struggled against Top teams. They have also won only one of their three matches thus far, while also allowing two goals in that encounter.
We expect goals in this match. England scored six goals last time out. Also, two of Nigeria’s past four matches, including one in this tournament, have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the only h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
England are ranked 36 places higher than their opponent and are in great shape going into the match. Their all three matches so far in this tournament have ended in victories. Furthermore, Nigeria has mostly struggled against teams of this calibre.
As a result, we can hardly imagine them dropping points. Therefore, you can back England to have the lead at halftime and win the match at the end at odds of 1.90.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals at 1.95 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
