England Women vs Wales Women

After breathing life into their UEFA European Women's Championship, England will be eyeing a place in the knockout stage when they face Wales in their final Group D fixture.

The Lionesses were in rampant mood in their previous fixture and will look to carry that form into this clash. They have a superior record in this fixture and could be set for a comfortable victory over the Welsh, who have been outclassed every step in this competition.

England Women News

England got their title defence back on track after claiming a 4-0 victory over the Netherlands in their previous Group D fixture. Lauren James netted a brace while Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone were also on target.

That was a solid return to winning ways following the 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands in their opening fixture. The result gives England a massive boost in their qualification hopes as a win on Sunday takes them through regardless of other results.

England have a knack for one-sided wins, having won by three or more goals a few times like the 7-0 friendly victory over Jamaica and a 6-0 UEFA Nations League triumph over Portugal. Sarina Wiegman's team have been at least two goals up at halftime in three of their last five matches, while four of their last five matches have produced over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Wales Women News

Wales come into this clash off the back of a 4-1 defeat to France in their previous fixture. They conceded early in the contest but struck back through Jessica Fishlock before a defensive capitulation saw them let in three more goals.

That was the second straight defeat for Wales, who began their campaign with a 3-0 loss to the Netherlands. Despite losing twice, Rhian Wilkinson's team are not eliminated yet and can still qualify if they win by at least four goals on Sunday and the Netherlands lose the other group game.

Although there is still a chance to qualify, Wales' overall form offers little hope, having lost their last four matches across all competitions. Two of their last three games have produced over 1.5 goals in the first half, while they have conceded at least twice before the break in those two fixtures.

Head to Head

England have never lost in this fixture, with three wins and a draw from four previous matches against Wales. The last meeting was a World Cup qualifier in 2018, which ended 3-0 in favour of the English

Verdict

England Women v Wales Women

England looked like their old selves in the win over the Netherlands and will be feeling extra confident given their record against Wales. They have won by three or more goals in three of their last five matches and could be set for a repeat here.

The reigning champions have also been two goals up at the break in three of their last five matches and a similar pattern is on the cards. The first half of Sunday's clash could also be tipped to produce over 1.5 goals.
