England W vs Cameroon W Prediction & Betting tips
The Stade de Hainaut in Valenciennes is transformed on Sunday into a lion circus, almost like the venerable Coliseum in Rome, where regular lion fighting took place. That will be the case in Valenciennes too, but in all likelihood a little less martial.
The Three Lionesses from England will fight against the indomitable Löwinnen from Cameroon for the entry into the quarterfinals at the Women’s World Cup. For the Africans it is the attitude of the biggest success of the association’s history, because after 2015 they are standing for the second time in the round of 16 of a World Cup. The African Cup continued in part, but there was never a title there.
Therefore, the performance of Africans at this World Cup is not high enough. For England, this first round in the playoffs should only be a transit station. After all, they were third in the World Cup four years ago and twice in the quarter-finals. In addition, the bookies consider the Lionesses to be one of the big favorites for the World Cup title. The role of the favorite is therefore clearly distributed and we also dare the prediction that it will be enough for the Europeans before the duel between England and Cameroon. But Cameroon is not a team that you can shoot from the stadium just in passing.
We would prefer a tip on the British in the round of 16 between England and Cameroon, but think that it could be quite tight. Meaning, an English victory with two or more goals difference we think not particularly likely, especially since the ladies of Phil Neville in the preliminary round against the already eliminated teams from Scotland and Argentina sometimes had problems. So maybe the match between the two lion teams will be closer than the favorite might be. The kick-off to the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup 2019 between England and Cameroon at the Stade de Hainaut of Valenciennes will take place on 23.06.2019 at 16:30.
England:
The English girls did not do more in the group stage of this World Cup than was necessary. Three wins in three games speak for themselves. With a win against Cameroon you would be back in the quarter-finals and would have there with Australia or Norway another task in front of the chest, which seems solvable. With the Three Lionesses is still to be expected at this tournament. But the British do not want to look too far into the future. However, five out of the last six internationals have been won and that is why we generally prefer the odds to an English victory in the England-Cameroon match, although we assume that it will not be a clear success for the Lionesses.
Against England and Scotland, the performances of England seemed a bit cramped – sometimes even a bit tired. Especially in the closing stages, the opponents came up again and again. Whether we can draw conclusions about fitness, let’s leave it that question. But the game was very similar to Japan.
Again, the England started strong and were already in the 14th minute by a goal by Ellen White 1-0 lead. Subsequently, the vice-world champion more and more left the handle of action. Only in the 84th minute came England to redeeming 2: 0 and thus to secure group victory. After three wins you can certainly dream of more.
Coach Phil Neville confirmed that he is very pleased with the progress of the group stage, but that he and his team will now switch fully into attack mode. Apparently, the British at the World Cup still have a lot in mind. If the men have been without a title since 1966, maybe the ladies can overcome this drought in English football. First, you have to prevail against Cameroon, before you can think of the next step. But we think everything is possible.
Cameroon :
After 2015, the team from Cameroon again managed to qualify for the round of the last sixteen of the World Cup. That was the only goal the Africans traveled to France with. Already, the irrepressible lionesses can be very pleased with the tournament, which is basically almost as expected. Two defeats against Holland and Canada had to be scheduled.
That it would work with a win over New Zealand in the last group match, to advance still in the second round, was due to a millimeter decision or even a photo finish. First of all, now the pride prevails that you do not have to leave prematurely, but then you will take hold and try to offer the English women also the forehead. However, this is a difficult task. Therefore, before the match between England and Cameroon, the prognosis is towards English success.
But if Cameroon shows such a morality as recently against New Zealand then maybe even a sensation in the range of the possible. Cameroon was in the round of the last sixteen, then out again and finally back in there. After one hour, Ajara Njoya gave her team a 1-0 lead. Only then was New Zealand stronger, but an own goal by Marie Aurelle Awona had to help to make up for it. When no one expected it, then still fell the winner for Cameroon.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time again Ajara Njoya took a heart, dribbled through the New Zealand backcountry and thoughtfully put in a 2-1 winning goal. Then the jubilation knew no bounds. Somehow, this hit reminded of the legendary Roger Milla, who has also provided some great moments in Cameroonian football. Even the coach felt like partying. However, Alain Djeumfa had to focus quickly on the next game, because against England, the tamer of irrepressible lionesses pays small chances to win.
