Women’s World Cup England vs Canada PT 2

Canada will ultimately need to step it up here if they are to get past the English women, who have shown the ability to come back from a goal down already in this tournament and that’s an important thing to be able to accomplish as many sides just tend to fizzle out when things aren’t going according to plan and they suddenly find themselves down 1-0.

Right now, Canada gets the edge from the bookmakers with a 13/10 price on the outright victory in 90 minutes. This one, and many others that happen in the knock-out stages of the competition, are usually much more plausible for the outright result instead of just the 90 minutes. While you are certainly sacrificing a bit on price, you want the extra value here because the matches can often turn into stalemates at 0-0 with neither side really pushing forward much.
The English can be backed at a 5/2 margin and that’s going to be an appealing price to a lot of their fans - particularly if they are backing draw/England in the half-time/full-time market as well. Right now, you’ll find that listed at a 6/1 price tag and it could drift a bit higher as we get closer to the kick-off itself.
Christine Sinclair, Canada’s legendary captain, is trading as the 11/8 favourite to score a goal at any point in the match and she’s listed at 5/1 to score the first or last goal. With not a huge amount of goals actually expected in this one, it’s worth backing first or last goalscorers only.
Josee Belanger is priced at 6/1 to score first or last and that places her alongside England’s top choices Fran Kirby and Toni Duggan. Should she get the start, Canadian supporters might want to look towards Jonelle Filingo, who found herself in some good spots during her cameo in their last fixture, but she just couldn’t get her foot on the end of some of those passes.
If Filingo gets a similar level of service here in this contest then you could definitely see her finding the back of the net - even in extra-time - and she’s trading at a very solid 8/1 price to get the first or last strike.
