England Women News and Form – Lionesses to dominate?
The Three Lionesses began their World Cup campaign with a narrow win over neighbours Scotland in Nice. England were superb in the first period, with goals from Nikita Parris and Ellen White giving them a commanding 2-0 lead at the break. Neville’s side took their foot of the gas in the second half, though, allowing the Scots to grab a goal back. Still, the English went on to claim a 2-1 victory at the Allianz Riviera.
England had an excellent World Cup back in 2015, going on to beat Germany in the third-place play-off to finish with a bronze medal. The Lionesses will be hoping to reach the final four years on, and they are one of the favourites to win the competition, with bet365 pricing them at just 7/1.
England have been in pretty good form over the past couple of years, winning 14 of their last 22 fixtures across all competitions. Meanwhile, Neville’s ladies have picked up three wins from their previous four matches.
Three points on Friday will see England progress to the last 16 in France. To be honest, they should have zero problems getting the better of the Argentinians in Le Havre.
England Women v Argentina Women Head to Head
These two nations went head-to-head at the 2007 World Cup in China, with the Lionesses running out big 6-1 winners at the Chengdu Sports Center. Kelly Smith was the hero, scoring twice in the rout. Meanwhile, Eva Nadia Gonzalez scored Argentina’s only goal of the game.
- Argentina picked up their first ever World Cup point in their last match
- England have won three of their last four
- The Lionesses kicked off their tournament with a win over Scotland
Argentina Women News and Form – Albicelestes to struggle in Le Havre?
Argentina secured their first ever World Cup point last time out. Last Monday’s 0-0 draw with the 2011 World Cup winners Japan will have felt like a win for Borrello and his side. They rode their luck at times, but Albicelestes more than deserved their point in Paris.
Despite their brilliant result last time out, Argentina have won just one of their last six, with that sole victory coming against Uruguay in their final World Cup warm-up game last month. Meanwhile, the nation has won only two of its last nine, with five of those ending in losses.
Argentina are the huge underdogs in this one, and stopping the likes of Parris, White and Jill Scott – among others – will be a very hard task for the country currently ranked 37th in the world.

England Women v Argentina Women Predictions
England win: Even though Argentina will be buoyed by their performance and result against Japan in their World Cup opener last Monday, this should be a stroll in the park for the English. I fancy England to prevail by a margin at the Stade Oceane, so back them to win -2 at 5/6. Nikita Parris sent England on their way to victory over Scotland by netting the opener last weekend, so have a punt on Lyon lady to net first again at 4/1.
