Having both emerged victorious in their first match, England and Denmark will now duke it out for supremacy of Group D at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Sydney, Australia.
Both sides won by a 1-0 scoreline, with England topping Haiti and Denmark edging China.
With each side already sitting on three points, a potential winner of this match will almost surely secure a knockout stage place, but a draw leaves both sides somewhat vulnerable should someone win the other Group D match.
England are hoping to make a push to the Women's World Cup title, hoping to back up last year's European championship title, while Denmark are simply looking to qualify for the knockout stage for the first time since 1995.

England vs Denmark prediction, odds
- Moneyline lean: England (-190)
- Score prediction: England 2-0 Denmark
As the second-favourites to win the entire competition, England are understandably also favourites in this matchup with a fellow European side.
Goals are expected to be at a premium given the scorelines for each side in their opening match, having both won on a single strike. Both the under and both teams not to score are heavily skewed.

England vs Denmark: best bet
While the under is enticing here, in reality it provides little value between the lopsided odds and the knowledge that England pummeled Haiti with 21 shots, 11 of which were on target. It's entirely possible the Lionesses could put those chances away in this match to run up the score, even against a defensively stout Denmark side.
Instead, back England to come out of their goal scoring slump. This team has generated chance after chance and has struggled to put opportunities away, but that will change sooner or later. They put eight of 21 shots on target against Portugal in their scoreless friendly draw prior to the tournament, and managed 15 shots on Australia in a 2-0 defeat before that.
This England attack is too talented and too dangerous to be held down for long, and even against a solid defensive side like Denmark, it's a matter of time before they break out.
England vs Denmark prop bet
- Pick: Alessia Russo anytime goal scorer
- Odds: +175 (BetMGM)
While this would normally be an uninspiring pick, the muted goal scoring odds in this game provide an opportunity to jump on the England centre forward to find the back of the net.
Russo had an enormous five shots on target against Haiti, but was stymied by Kerly Theus, who made half of her 10 total saves against Russo. The 24-year-old is mired in a goal scoring slump for the national team, but when she gets going she can be a force in front of goal. There's a reason Arsenal offered a world record fee for Russo back in January.
