In the 2023 Women’s World Cup Final, Spain battles England Sunday. Kickoff from Stadium Australia is set for 6 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Spain vs. England odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Spain finished 2nd in Group C, beating Zambia 5-0 and Costa Rica 3-0. It capped off group stage competition with a 4-0 loss to Japan after both teams had already clinched a knockout stage spot. Spain then thrilled Switzerland, which had not given up a goal in the group stage, 5-1 in the Round of 16. It then beat Netherlands 2-1 in the quarterfinals and Sweden 2-1 in the semifinal.

England took down Nigeria in the Round of 16 in penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw through 120 minutes. It won 4-2 in penalties. England then beat Colombia 2-1 and topped it off by eliminating one of the host nations, Australia, 3-1. England sits 4th in the world rankings.

Spain vs. England picks and predictions

Prediction

Spain 2, England 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET SPAIN (+160).

Spain has looked like the best team in this tournament, and it has proven that multiple times.

The Round of 16 5-1 win over Switzerland was among the most impressive of the tournament. On top of that, it beat both teams that drew the top-ranked USA – Netherlands and Sweden. Spain has a more impressive knockout stage resume and should be able to breakdown an English defense that has allowed a goal in 3 of its last 4 games.

Spain has scored 2 or more in each knockout stage match. England has had a far easier route, battling 2 teams ranked outside the top 20 and then edging Australia 3-1, although it went into the last 20 minutes tied at 1 each.

BET SPAIN (+160).

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. BET BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+105).

England has scored in its last 2 games and in 5 of 6 in the Women’s World Cup. It has also allowed a goal in 3 of its last 4 games and will be playing the most technically-sound attack yet, so it will be challenged defensively.

Similarly, Spain and its opponent have scored in every knockout stage games, winning 5-1, 2-1 and 2-1. It has a lethal offense, averaging 3 goals per game in the knockout stage and has allowed a goal in 4 straight games.

Pass on the total but bet BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+105).

2023 Women’s World Cup: Australia vs. England odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Australia vs. England odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Australia and England meet Wednesday in a semifinals matchup of the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Kickoff from Stadium Australia in Sydney is scheduled for 6 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Australia vs. England odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Both Australia and England are vying for their first-ever Women’s World Cup Final, so this will be a historic result regardless of the winner.

Australia edged France 7-6 on penalties in the quarterfinal round. The Matildas were outshot 21-15, including 5-4 in shots on goal, while France had a 52.0%-to-48.0% possession advantage, too.

England fell behind 1-0 against Colombia at 44′, but F Lauren Hemp smoked one past the keeper in first-half stoppage time to level things 1-1. F Alessia Russo struck at 63′ to put the Lionesses up 2-1, and that’s how things ended.

England will again be without F/M Lauren James, who was hit with a 2-game suspension for stamping a Nigerian player in the Round of 16. Ella Toone will presumably be the replacement in the midfield for the 2nd straight match.

  • Moneyline: Australia +220 (bet $100 to win $220) | England +130 (bet $100 to win $130) | Draw +210 (bet $100 to win $210)
  • Over/Under: 1.5 (O: -190 | U: +135)

Australia vs. England picks and predictions

Prediction

Australia 0, England 0

Moneyline (ML)

Both of these sides should be quite nervous, as each club attempts to ascend to a level not seen before by a women’s side in their nation’s history. I expect to see a rather slow start and very few chances taken for the first 90-plus minutes as both sides play a careful match.

Through an uneventful full-time and extra time, it will reach a crescendo on penalties, where a winner will eventually be determined.

As such, play the DRAW (+210) for a chance to more than double up.

Over/Under (O/U)

Under 1.5 regular time goals (-190) is way too expensive. While I think we get a scoreless draw, I’m not willing to back that high of a number.

I like NO: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-175) slightly better, although it’s still a bit too expensive for my liking.

In addition, playing TIE (+160) as the “result after 75:00 min” is a solid play, as well.

2023 Women’s World Cup: England vs. Colombia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s England vs. Colombia odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

England and Colombia meet Saturday in a quarterfinals matchup of the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Kickoff from Stadium Australia is scheduled for 6:30 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. Colombia odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England is looking to get back to the semifinals which is where the Lionesses made it last World Cup before bowing out against Sweden in 2019.

England posted a win on penalties after a scoreless draw in full-time against Nigeria in the Round of 16 on Monday. The match was anything but uneventful, however, as forward Lauren James was shown a red card and has been banned for 2 matches after stomping on the back of a fallen Nigeria defender.

Colombia posted a 1-0 win over Jamaica on Tuesday in the Round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in that nation’s history. Colombia welcomes back fullback Manuela Vanegas after a 1-game suspension for a pair of yellow cards in the group stages.

  • Moneyline: England -190 (bet $190 to win $100) | Colombia +625 (bet $100 to win $625) | Draw +260
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +145 | U: -200)

England vs. Colombia picks and predictions

Prediction

England 0, Colombia 0

Moneyline (ML)

I am not sure who is going to come through on penalties, but I feel that’s how this quarterfinals match is going to be decided. As a result, DRAW (+260) is a tremendous value on the 3-way line, as you can multiply your initial wager by more than 2 1/2 times.

England was rather sluggish last time out against Nigeria, and Colombia plays a similar style. You can expect the South American side to play it rather close to the vest with tight defense while taking very few chances. It will toss a blanket on England, a team that was outshot by Nigeria last time out.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS.

Under 2.5 Goals (-200) is just too expensive. While there is very little chance we see the back of the net hit 3 or more times, you can’t risk twice as much as your return.

Instead, take a chance on UNDER 1.5 REGULAR TIME GOALS (+145) for a much better value. I am expecting Colombia to clamp down defensively and make it a nightmare for England to shake loose.

I also like the “halftime and full-time” prop, playing TIE/TIE (+350) for the opportunity to more than triple up. If this match does go to penalties, it will be very lucrative if you make this wager.

2023 Women’s World Cup: England vs. Nigeria odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s England vs. Nigeria odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In the Round of 16, England battles Nigeria Monday. Kickoff from Suncorp Stadium is set for 3:30 a.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. Nigeria odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England has a strong group stage showing, taking down Haiti and Denmark both 1-0 and then capping it off with a 6-1 win over China. It finished atop Group D, having scored 8 goals and allowed 1. It was just one of 3 teams to win all 3 matches. England sits 4th in the world per FIFA Women’s Rankings. F Lauren James led the team with 3 group stage goals.

Nigeria wasn’t quite as impressive, but it did enough to pull off an unlikely advance, sending home two top-25 nations, Canada and Ireland. Nigeria beat Australia, which won the group, 3-2. It had 0-0 draws in both of its other matches. Nigeria might have been an underdog in both matches against Ireland and Canada, but it left having tallied 10+ shots. It ranks 40th in the world.

  • Moneyline: England -300 (bet $300 to win $100) | Nigeria +900 (bet $100 to win $900) | Draw +400
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -110 | U: -125)

England vs. Nigeria picks and predictions

Prediction

England 2, Nigeria 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s just no value here. The books heavily juiced BOTH TEAMS NOT TO SCORE, currently at (-225), likely meaning they do not expect Nigeria to get on the board.

England has scored in every game during the World Cup and destroyed top-15 China in its last group stage match. Expect a rout here, but don’t place a moneyline wager as England (-300) is far too expensive.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-125).

Nigeria has a strong defense, and although it was dominated in possession by both Ireland and Canada, it still found a way to hold the two nations scoreless. Ireland was limited to just 1 shot on goal despite being ranked 22nd in the world.

Nigeria has allowed 2 goals through 3 matches and allowed a combined 4 shots on goal against Canada and Ireland. I expect England to come out on top, but it had just 2 goals in its group stage matches aside from the 6-1 thrashing of China.

Nigeria’s defense is its strength while England’s offense has struggled despite its continued winning. Ultimately, take UNDER 2.5 (-125).

2023 Women’s World Cup: China vs. England odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s China vs. England odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In a Group D matchup, China (1-1-0 / W-L-D) and England (2-0-0) meet Tuesday in the 2023 Women’s World Cup at Coopers Stadium in Hindmarsh, South Australia. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the China vs. England odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

China opened its World Cup with a 1-0 setback against Denmark in the opener, and it returned the favor with a 1-0 victory over Group D doormat Haiti last time out on Friday despite playing a majority of the match with just 10 players.

China needs a win and a Denmark draw or loss to Haiti, or a draw and a Denmark loss, to advance to the Round of 16. China hasn’t won back-to-back games at the Women’s World Cup since 1999.

England opened the World Cup with a 1-0 win against Haiti in the opener, and it also posted a 1-0 victory against Denmark on Friday. That victory came with a big price, however, as midfielder Keira Walsh suffered a knee injury. The good news is that tests showed she didn’t suffer an ACL injury, but the bad news is that Walsh is out for this match.

England isn’t quite through just yet, but a draw or a win will punch its ticket to the knockout stages. It can even advance with a loss, depending on the goal differential.

  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +105 | U: -145)

China vs. England picks and predictions

Prediction

England 1, China 0

Moneyline (ML)

England (-225) will cost you over 2 times your potential return, and that’s a little too expensive. First off, “The Lionesses” do not need a victory to advance, but simply a draw. It remains to be seen whether it will be pushing super hard, or if it will simply be satisfied with a lower-scoring draw. And missing Walsh also messes up the chemistry a bit.

PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

I feel as if UNDER 2.5 GOALS (-145) is a slam-dunk play. Based on the results in each of the 1st 2 matches for both sides, however, I’d roll the dice on UNDER 1.5 GOALS (+210) for a chance to more than double up, too.

If you’re really adventurous, playing 1 EXACT TOTAL GOAL (+310) for a chance to more than triple up is also worth a look.

Playing the “multiple correct score” prop with ENGLAND 1:0, 2:0 OR 3:0 (+135) at plus-money is also an attractive play.

2023 Women’s World Cup: England vs. Denmark odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s England vs. Denmark odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In each nation’s 2nd Group D battle, England (1 win, 0 draws, 0 losses) takes on Denmark (1-0-0) on Friday with kickoff from Allianz Stadium set for 4:30 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. Denmark odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England used a 29th-minute penalty kick from M Georgia Stanway to beat Haiti 1-0 in its opener. It had 21 shots and 11 on target, which respectively was 14 and 9 more than Haiti. It also had possession for 75% of the match. England is 4th in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings and is among the favorites to win the World Cup.

Denmark also won its opener, 1-0 over China, so the winner of this match will automatically go through to the knockout stage. Denmark had 13 shots and 2 on target against China, although it didn’t quite dominate like England. China had 9 shots and 2 on target, possessing 44% of the match. In a strong group, Denmark sits 13th in the world ranking with wins this year over No. 3 Sweden and No. 12 Norway.

  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +115 | U: -160)

England vs. Denmark picks and predictions

Prediction

England 1, Denmark 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Denmark has been impressive during the calendar year and played China well. While it didn’t dominate China, both were top-15 sides, so it was a good competitive match. Denmark showed its depth. It has wins over Japan, Sweden, Uruguay and Norway this season, having only lost to top-6 sides.

England has drawn 3 of its last 5 matches, going 1-3-1 over that span, having lost 2-0 to Australia on April 11 and drawing both games in July before beating Haiti. These teams are closer on paper than the rankings suggest.

That said, back DRAW (+310) for a small unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-160).

Denmark had 2 shots on target and held China to 2 shots on target. England’s 1 goal despite having 21 shots actually should be seen as an issue as well. Having 11 shots on target and 1 goal showcases lesser-than-expected finishing, which could mean it’ll struggle with fewer opportunities against Denmark.

Denmark has gone Under in in 4 straight matches and in 6 of 7 games this calendar year. England has gone Under in 5 straight matches and was held scoreless in 3 of those. England doesn’t have a single player on its team with 20+ international goals, and it has 3 players with 60+ caps on its defensive line.

The experience on the backline yet not in the final 3rd is cause for concern when it comes to its attack. Twelve of 18 games have gone Under 2.5 through Tuesday. Back UNDER 2.5 (-160).

2023 Women’s World Cup: England vs. Haiti odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s England vs. Haiti odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

England battles Haiti Saturday in Group D action of the 2023 Women’s World Cup Saturday. Kickoff in Brisbane, Australia, is set for 5:30 a.m. ET (FOX) from Suncorp Stadium — also known as Brisbane Stadium. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. Haiti odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

The other 2 teams in the group are China and Denmark. England is 4th in the FIFA Women’s Rankings, while Denmark is 13th, China 14th and Haiti 53rd.

This is Haiti’s 1st World Cup. F Batcheba Louis, who has 16 caps and 23 goals, will be the main forward to keep an eye on. All of Haiti’s 3 keepers have a combined 13 caps as well. However, Haiti has won 4 of 6 matches in 2023. It qualified by winning its group in the inter-confederation playoffs, qualifying on Feb. 22, 2023.

England qualified by winning UEFA’s Group D in September 2022. The Lionesses have won 3 of 7 games in 2023, drawing 3 more and losing once. Only 31-year-old D Lucy Bronze has 100+ caps for the team. MF Ella Toone, who also plays for Man U, leads England with 16 goals despite only being 23 years old.

  • Over/Under: 4.5 (O: -115 | U: -120)

England vs. Haiti picks and predictions

Prediction

England 4, Haiti 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

England is one of the best teams in the World Cup and among the favorites to win the tournament. At -5000, there is no value to bet the Lionesses to win outright, especially after upsets like New Zealand was able to make to open the event vs. Norway.

Haiti (+4000) should have passionate play with it being the country’s first World Cup. However, don’t expect the Haitians to pull off an upset against a powerhouse like England.

PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 4.5 (-120).

Simply put, Haiti doesn’t have the experience or technical expertise to keep it close against England. It has gone Under this total in 6 of 7 games in 2023. Haiti has an ultra-young roster too, so it should be able to keep pace with England, but it may not be able to finish opportunities.

England has not scored in 3 consecutive games, drawing 2 straight matches 0-0. It has scored more than 4 goals just twice in its last 15 matches, one against Belgium and one against Luxembourg.

England’s experience comes in its backline as well, having 2 defenders with the most caps on the roster. No English player has scored more than 16 goals for the nation, so its roster should primarily be focused on defending at a high level.

Expect England to score often, just not frequently enough for the Over to hit. TAKE UNDER 4.5 (-120).

2022 World Cup: England vs. Senegal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s England vs. Senegal odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

England battles Senegal in the Round of 16 of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Kickoff from Al Bayt Stadium is set for 2 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. Senegal odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England won Group B with 2 victories and a draw. They opened up World Cup play with an impressive 6-2 win over Iran. M Bukayo Saka was their only multi-goal scorer in that game.

England then drew USA 0-0 and was outshot by 2, their worst performance of the tournament. England ended group play with a 3-0 win over Wales. England, per FIFA Men’s Rankings, is the 5th-best team in the world.

Senegal, on the other hand, sits 18th and finished second in Group A. Netherlands won the group, but Senegal did finish with 2 wins, taking down Ecuador 2-1 and Qatar 3-1.

Their lone loss came against the Netherlands, losing 2-0 despite having more shots and more shots on frame. Senegal is captained by Chelsea D Kalidou Koulibaly.

Prediction

England 2, Senegal 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

England should come out on top in regulation, and the odds here expect that. (-180) is unplayable odds for England to win. Senegal played a strong game against the Netherlands and still ended up losing.

They did score a combined 5 goals against Ecuador and Qatar. Senegal has solid, world-class talent from multiple top-tier leagues, but England has the pace and depth to outlast and wear them down.

England looked the part of a contender and should have the firepower to get multiple in on Senegal, who allowed 4 goals in 3 Group Stage matches.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+145).

Both teams went Over this total in 2 of their 3 Group Stage games.

England scored 9 goals in 3 games and allowed 2. Senegal, on the other hand, scored 5 and allowed 4. The England attack is laced with dynamic wingers like F Marcus Rashford and F Raheem Sterling.

Couple that with arguably the best finisher in the world in F Harry Kane, and England should find success against a Senegal backline that allowed a goal in every Group Stage game.

Senegal also had double-digit shots in every Group Stage game, so expect them to have opportunities to score as well. Considering it all, back the OVER 2.5 (+145).

2022 World Cup: Wales vs. England odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Wales vs. England odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

England (1 win, 0 losses, 1 draw) battles Wales at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium Tuesday with kickoff for the Group B group match set for 2 p.m. ET (FS1) Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wales vs. England odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England isn’t quite through to the next round, but they basically are. With a 4-goal differential, worst-case scenario assuming they don’t get destroyed by Wales is a 2nd-place finish in the group. By destroy, they would need to lose to Wales by at least 3.

England has looked like the group’s best team, but did struggle against USA in their 2nd match with 2 fewer shots in the 0-0 draw. England beat Iran 6-2 in their World Cup opener with F Bukayo Saka scoring twice. They are flush with top EPL talent.

As for Wales, F Gareth Bale is the renown leader, but he is aging and has struggled. Nice F Aaron Ramsey is the vice captain and plays an important role as well. They allowed 21 shots to Iran and lost 2-0 after drawing USA 1-1 with a Bale penalty-kick goal evening that battle.

Prediction

England 3, Wales 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s just no value here. Wales hasn’t shown enough to even consider a draw. It scored a penalty kick in 1 game and allowed 2 and 21 shots to an inferior side in another.

England cannot quite take their foot off the gas, especially considering they should want the No. 1 spot in the group. They will more than likely come out on top, but at (-220), there’s not much value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+100).

England scored 6 against Iran and had 8 shots and 3 shots on target against a solid USA backline that has quick wing backs. Wales isn’t as deep and should be exhausted.

England will have better finishing than Iran and should net at least 3 if they can get an equal 21 shots. Players like Saka and F Raheem Sterling will be too much for Wales to handle, as they were Iran.

Wales has a few quality forwards in F Daniel James as well, and when England went up big on Iran, they didn’t keep the pressure on. That could repeat itself against Wales.

2022 World Cup: England vs. USA odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s England vs. USA odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Wrapping up Friday’s World Cup action in Group B, England (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) will battle the USA (0-0-1) at Al Bayt Stadium set. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the England vs. USA odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England absolutely spanked Iran in its World Cup opener 6-2. England M Bukayo Saka led the scoring with 2 goals, referred to as a “brace” in soccer speak.

England had 79% of possession and 5 more shots (4 more shots on target). On a sour note for the England, F Harry Kane injured his ankle vs. Iran. He will be availalbe for the USA match, but the concern is if he will be 100%.

USA had an unsatisfying 1-1 draw with the F Gareth Bale-led Wales. US score 1st, early in the 1st half, but a late bad foul in the box by D Walker Zimmerman led to a penalty kick goal by Bale.

The Americans shockingly did not play M Gio Reyna, who will be 100% healthy and likely to start Friday. USA actually had 2 fewer shots on goal and 1 less shot on target vs. Wales despite having 59% of the possession.

Prediction

England 2, USA 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no value here. There wasn’t enough value Wednesday afternoon when England was favored at -170, and there’s definitely no value with the line up to -205 Friday before kickoff.

If I had to choose something, it would be the Draw (+350). USA played better than the numbers look against Wales, and England got on a role vs. Iran. What was impressive for the Americans, was their ability to limit quality Welsh chances.

Unlike Iran, USA has speed on the defensive edges in D Sergino Dest and D Antonee Robinson to help tame what England’s Saka and F Raheem Sterling are capable of doing.

It would be nice to profit 6.2 times an initial bet on the USMNT (+620), but I don’t see it happening. Still, if you want to gamble and win on a decent long shot … it would be fun to brag about cashing a USA (+620) ticket.

The unknown regarding Kane’s injury also makes the draw enticing. I would still PASS though with just a slight lean to the Draw (+350).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-120).

England looked unstoppable against Iran, and while the point still stands for Dest and Robinson, both received a full dose of work against Wales and could have tired legs.

The quality on the England side is difficult to overlook. England had 13 shots and put 7 on target. It controlled possession and looked incredible with its finishing. I expect a similar result.

England did, however, give up 2 goals to Iran, and the USA attack, led by Chelsea F Christian Pulisic, should be even more lethal. If the USMNT can get at least 3 shots on target, expect 1 to be converted.

The pace of this game, especially with the excitement on both ends, should produce goals as well. Each team was over 80% in passing accuracy, so they should be able to breakthrough backlines with that efficiency.
