England will wrap up the Women’s World Cup 2023 group stage with a fixture against China PR Women on Tuesday. The Lionesses are already on the verge of going forward to the last 16. A win against China will see Sarina Weigman’s side through to the knockouts. England are on the brink of maintaining their 100% record of reaching the World Cup knockout rounds. Georgia Stanway’s penalty gave the Lionesses a narrow 1-0 win over Haiti in Matchday One. Heading on to their next opponent, Sarina Wiegman’s side replicated that same scoreline against Denmark.
China, on the other hand, is also entering the game as a tough contender. The Chinese team have a 100% record of qualifying for the knockout rounds. But they have a lot of work to do before they achieve this. After beginning their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Denmark, they received another setback when Zhang Rui was sent off in the first half against Haiti. Despite playing over 60 minutes with 10 players, China managed to clinch three crucial points thanks to Wang Shuang’s 74th-minute penalty. The 2022 Asian Cup winners head into the final matchday in third position, but they are level with Denmark on points, goal difference and number of goals scored.
China knows that a victory will give them the best possible chance of reaching the knockout stages. They will also be looking to claim consecutive wins at a Women’s World Cup for the first time since 1999. However, the English challenge can prove to be a formidable one for Shui Qingxia’s side.
