England vs Nigeria Prediction

As initially predicted, the England women's team entered the round of 16 of the 2023 World Cup as the top team in Group D.

Although they had some difficulties in the first two matches, winning with the same score of 1-0 against Haiti and Denmark, the Three Lions were able to restore the fans' confidence by destroying China.

Overall, at this year's tournament, the England women's team has yet to reveal any major weaknesses.

What worries coach Sarina Wiegman most right now is probably the lack of diversity in the attacking phases along with the ability to finish situations.

But scoring 6 goals against a tough team like China may have helped Mr. Wiegman temporarily forget this worry.

During the group stage, the England women's team played powerful, direct attacking football.

Meanwhile, the presence of the Nigerian women's team in the knockout round of the biggest women's football festival on the planet in 2023 is considered a surprise.

Especially when they fall into a rather difficult group with the presence of highly rated teams such as host Australia, Canada and Ireland.

But in fact, in recent years, the West African team has been making great strides.

In terms of personnel, they have a generation of players with great potential and are playing in the world's top leagues such as England, America or Spain.

So, it is completely wrong to say that the “Super Falcons” entered the round of 16 because of luck or because their opponents were weakened.

However, to put on the scale with the English women's team, Nigeria at this time has absolutely no chance.

The European team not only has better quality personnel but also has superior playing style, experience and form compared to Oshoala and his teammates.

That said, despite playing quite well, Nigeria has almost no hope of overcoming the England women's team in the round of 16.
