The curtain will come down on the ninth edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday, with Spain and England contending for their first title. Both teams have been impressive in the tournament but Spain are obviously the surprise package. With their previous best record being a round-of-16 finish, reaching the final was historic.
La Roja have built much confidence since the start and will likely stick to their brand of football when they face England. Their ability to build from the back and sophisticated passing patterns could break England’s long ball style. Spain and England’s last three clashes ended in one draw and a win for each side.
England have been in red-hot form, posting a flawless run of six wins in the competition. This will be their first final in the Women’s World Cup, but the second for coach Sarina Wiegman, who led the Netherlands to the 2019 final. She lost that final to the United States but is now hoping for the best against Spain.
The Lionesses will register the return of Lauren James, who received a two-game suspension against Nigeria in the round of 16. It’s a huge boost to England’s attack, as the Chelsea striker will be looking to atone for her unsporting behavior. The European Champions have the quality to tie up their campaign with the ultimate prize.
FACTS:
- Spain have won once, drawn once, and lost thrice in their last five clashes with England.
- Spain have scored 17 goals and conceded seven so far in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
- Spain have played 13 World Cup games, winning six, while England have won 20 in 32 games.
- England have scored 13 goals and conceded five in the ongoing World Cup.
- Spain have won four times and lost once in their last five matches while England have won all five.
With an odd of 2.75 awardede by Bookmakers to each team, this definitely will be one of the best finals ever played in the history of the Women’s World Cup. Our team of experts also think this will go down the wire but a winner will be decided at the regulation time.

Colombia take on Jamaica at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday for a place in he quaterfinals.
Colombia are in the round of 16 for the second time. They were unable to progress beyond this stage in 2015 during their second appearance in the World Cup. However, they’re starting off as hard-driving contenders this time and could be a force to be reckoned with in Australia and New Zealand.
They beat South Korea 2-0 in their first game before pulling off a shock 2-1 win against powerhouse Germany to confirm their credentials. They eventually finished atop Group H with six points despite a 1-0 setback against Morocco in their last game.
France and Brazil had been largely tipped to dominate Group F, with Jamaica and Panama expected to become the first teams to pack up and leave. However, pundits quickly reviewed their predictions when Jamaica stood up to France in the group opener that ended goalless, much to the disappointment of the Europeans.
The Reggae Girlz proved that the result wasn’t fortuitous following up with a win against Panama and another goalless draw, this time against Brazil. Jamaica ended second with five points behind France (seven points) to qualify for their first Round of 16 at the World Cup.
Colombia and Jamaica have met twice, with each side prevailing once. In their first clash, Jamaica won 2-1 while Colombia came out on top in the second 2-0. Colombia have suffered only one defeat in their last five games. Colombia have scored four goals and conceded twice at the World Cup. Jamaica have scored once and are yet to concede at the World Cup. Colombia have won twice, drawn twice and lost once in their last five games, the same as Jamaica.
A close game expected from both teams today and with Colombia emerging Bookmakers’ favourite with a odd of 2.30, one cannot write Jamaica off as the Bookmakers have awarded them odss of 3.60 to progress.
Our in-house analyst after a careful review of the game believed it will be a tough game for both sides and we might be seeing another penalty shootout at the end of the day. Here are our four predictions for the game.

Having both emerged victorious in their first match, England and Denmark will now duke it out for supremacy of Group D at the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Sydney, Australia.
England were given a much sterner test than many expected in their tournament opener against a Haiti side that are ranked 49 places lower than the Lionesses.
Denmark, who are competing in their first World Cup since 2007, got their campaign up and running with a narrow 1-0 victory over China.
With each side already sitting on three points, a potential winner of this match will almost surely secure a knockout stage place, but a draw leaves both sides somewhat vulnerable should someone win the other Group D match.
From our expert’s point of view, both teams will definitely go all out for the three points so as to put themselves in pole position for a place in the next round.
Bookmakers favour England to win this, so also our experts who belived the English will take this over the Eropean counterparts.
TIPS:
- Correct Scores 2-1 in favour of England
- England to win
- Over 2.5 goals
- At least a goal to be scored in either half
