England VS Spain Betting Tips and Preview

Andy Moore

Reigning World Cup Champions England go into the tournament with the distraction surrounding the central contracts for the squad but that is not expected to be a factor against a Spain side who pipped Scotland for a place in the Finals and will want to go better than the ninth place they took in the 2014 tournament.

9th August – 13:00pm – Billings Park UCD, Dublin

England v Spain Preview

Ahead of our England v Spain betting tips, England are expected to once again challenge for the Women’s World Cup title and will be looking to keep themselves together as a team after a contract row pre-tournament threatened to distract the squad from retaining the title they won in 2014. Spain will want to improve on their 2014 showing where they finished a credible 9th and have had recent success with wins over Scotland to pip them to the World Cup.

Key Players to Watch

Before we look at the Women’s World Cup Odds we will take a look at the players that could make an impact on the tournament and for reigning champions England, captain Sarah Hunter is a key player, who is making her third World Cup Finals appearance and will be driving her team to a hopeful retention of the title they won in 2014. Spain will be looking towards Patricia Garcia to continue the form that earned her the accolade of highest points scorer in the European Championships, where she scored four tries and kicked with accuracy for 2 penalties and 13 conversions.

Both Teams Recent Form

England have been in dominant form over the last year and have not since a defeat to rivals New Zealand in November. That bodes well for the tournament and they will hope to avoid the likes of the Black Ferns until the latter stages. Spain won the European Championships without losing a game and then defeated Scotland over two legs to earn their place at the 2017 World Cup where they will be looking to challenge the European teams in particular.

England v Spain Head-to-Head

Their have been 15 matches between the two teams stretching back to 1991 and the outcome of these matches have predominantly favoured England who have 13 wins and a draw, compared to one Spain win, showing that the form sits with the reigning World Cup Champions.

England v Spain Prediction

England start the match as heavy favorites and our match prediction is for the 2014 Champions to dominate their opponents from the start and look to lay down a marker for the tournament and show the other sides that they won’t be giving up their title so easily.
