England Women vs Haiti Women Prediction and Betting Tips | July 22, 2023
England get their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup campaign underway against debutants Haiti at the Suncorp Stadium on Saturday (July 22).
The two teams have been drawn alongside Denmark and China in Group D. England finished fourth in the 2019 edition and will look to improve on that record while Haiti are one of eight debutants in 2023.
England have never won the World Cup but having won the UEFA Women's Championship last year and Women's Finalissima earlier this year against Brazil, they head into the competition with high hopes.
Haiti, meanwhile, secured their first qualification to the Women's World Cup with wins over Senegal and Chile in the Inter-Confederation playoffs in February. England suffered a 2-0 defeat to Australia in a friendly in April and played a goalless draw against Portugal in another friendly earlier this month.
England have a strong squad and head into the tournament as one of the favourites. They're winless in their last two friendlies without scoring, though. In-form striker Bethany Mead is out with injury, which is a huge blow for Sarina Wiegman's team.
Haiti, meanwhile, are making their first appearance at the World Cup. They have scored in six of their last seven games across competitions and will look to continue that run.
Nonetheless, considering England's better squad and experience in the tournament, expect them to record a comfortable win.
