Why you should back England

England has a tremendous talent advantage in this match, as evidenced by the long odds for Haiti in the betting market. This is the first-ever meeting between the two countries, and England is the second-favorite to win the entire tournament. England finished in the top four in the last two Women's World Cups, and the team broke through in becoming European champions last year. 

England defeated Spain, Sweden, and Germany to win that title, and history is on England's side. In fact, England has never failed to make it through to the knockout phase in five previous World Cup appearances. That experience will be prominent in this setting, and England was also impressive in a win over Brazil back in April. This is a deep, talented group with plenty of star power.

Why you should back Haiti

Haiti is facing long odds in this setting as a first-time participant in the Women's World Cup. However, this is a talented squad that earned its bid to Australia and New Zealand with a 2-1 victory over Chile in qualifying. Melchie Dumornay scored both goals for Haiti in that match, and the Haitians also have other standout performers including Nerilia Mondesir and veteran striker Roselord Borgella. 

In addition to Haiti's own strengths, England is potentially more vulnerable than some might expect. England is missing both Beth Mead and Leah Williamson due to injuries, and while England was dominant in qualifying, the squad did not win either of its final two friendlies before the tournament.
