England vs China Bet-Builder tip
England to win 2-0, Over 1.5 goals, BTTS No & Alessia Russo to score anytime @ 10.19/1 with Paddy Power
England have yet to concede a goal at this World Cup, and they will fancy recording a third successive clean sheet.
The Lionesses will also be confident of extending their impressive scoring streak in matches, and they would make history by finding the net again here.
Russo has been unlucky not to open her account at the finals, registering a combined eight shots with success. But now would be an ideal time for her fortunes to change heading into the crunch stages of the tournament.
England vs China team news
England will be without star midfielder Keira Walsh, who limped off during the victory over Denmark. But with the Lionesses’ passage to the knockout stages still not guaranteed, Sarina Wiegman is likely to field as strong a side as possible.
