The match between England and Colombia in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Women's World Cup takes place at 5:30 p.m. on August 12.
Will England women overcome Colombia to reach the semi-finals?
England vs Colombia Prediction
England go into the 2023 Women's World Cup as one of the top contenders to win the title.
At this time, the Three Lions were also present in the quarter-finals of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
But in all fairness, what England's women's team have shown so far has not been convincing.
In the group stage, in addition to destroying a China that had lost its motivation to compete, coach Sarina Wiegman's team only won 1-0 against both Denmark and Haiti.
In the round of 16, the England women's team continued to face difficulties when they had to use a penalty shootout to defeat an opponent 36 places lower in the FIFA rankings, Nigeria.
On the other side of the field, the Colombian women's team is taking the audience at the 2023 World Cup from one surprise to another.
In the first stage, the South American team won the ticket to continue with the first place in Group H, a group with the presence of both Korea and Germany.
They then went on to defeat Jamaica to reach the quarter-finals of a Women's World Cup for the first time in their history.
But here, coach Nelson Abadia and his team encountered difficulties when facing a much higher-class opponent, the England women's team.
In terms of personnel quality, the Colombian women's team does not have many famous names. The most notable case is probably that of young talent Caicedo.
But instead, the Colombian women's team is highly appreciated for its collective strength, solidarity and discipline.
In addition, reaching the quarter-finals was already an unexpected success for them, so the whole team is quite comfortable at the moment.
Meanwhile, the England women's team entered the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup with pressure to win to get a ticket to continue.
But the task of penetrating Colombia's solid defense is now very difficult for England, especially when winger James is sidelined due to FIFA's sanction.
But with the remaining famous names in the squad, perhaps the foggy country team still has enough ability to win against Colombia.
However, with what is happening, this promises to be another tough match for the Three Lions.
England vs Colombia result prediction: 2-0
Expected lineup
England: Earps, Bronze, Greenwood, Bright, Carter, Walsh, Stanway, Daly, Russo, Hemp, Chloe Kelly
Colombia: Perez, C.Arias, D.Arias, Carabali, Guzman, Ospina, Usme, Santos, Bedoya, Caicedo, Ramirez
