England played to a 1-0 win over Haiti in their Group D opener courtesy of a penalty conversion from Georgia Stanway in the 29th minute. England controlled 75% of possession and logged 21 shots overall, but struggled to find the back of the net in the run of play.
Denmark also logged a 1-0 victory over China in their opener by way of a late game-winning goal from Amalie Vangsgaard in the 89th minute. The two sides went toe-to-toe as nobody dominated the other, but the Danish side was able to steal all three points.
England has won the previous two meetings against Denmark, though the last match was played over four years ago as the Lionesses cruised to a 2-0 friendly win. Both teams will be eager to get a win as whoever gets three points will be likely to clinch a spot in the round of 16, depending on what happens in the China-Haiti matchup kicking off at 7 a.m. ET.
I’m picking the Lionesses to get the edge here as the better team, but I won’t be too surprised if Denmark is able to hold them to a draw in the end.
