England are yet to find their best form in this tournament but they are the bookmakers’ favourite to go all the way. Sarina Weigman has been assessing how her side can improve ahead of a tricky encounter with Colombia.

England to reach the last four
The first of our Women’s World Cup tips for this quarter-final is for England to win the game inside regulation time.
England made it to the last eight by the skin of their teeth. They needed a penalty shootout to get past Nigeria after being reduced to 10 men near the end of normal time. Nevertheless, they are now the outright favourites to win the tournament with the USWNT suffering a defeat in the last round.
The scare of the last round should be enough to spur The Lionesses on in this clash. The weight of expectation is now on their shoulders but they will be confident of making it to the last four against a Colombia side that edged past Jamaica in the last round.

Another low-scoring affair for England
Our second prediction for England vs Colombia is exactly 1-2 goals in the match at odds of 3/4 with Bet9ja.
England won the European Championships last summer and that first major tournament victory should settle their nerves as they head into the business end of this World Cup.
The final group game against China remains the only game where England have been at their brilliant best. However, those below-par displays will soon be forgotten if they deliver over the course of the next three matches.
The Lionesses have conceded just one goal (excluding the penalty shootout) all tournament. Quarter-final ties can be cagey affairs so backing fewer goals looks like the way to go here.
This bet has landed in three of Columbia’s four World Cup matches so far. Nelson Abadia’s team will try to keep it tight in this match as they try and frustrate England in the early stages.
England vs Colombia Bet 2: 1-2 goals multi goal @ 3/4 Bet9ja
Hemp to get back on the scoresheet
England have opted for a 3-4-1-2 formation in their last two matches. They looked deadly against China but they failed to fashion enough clear opportunities in the last round against Nigeria.
Saina Wegman has plenty of attacking talent at her disposal. Lauren James was sent off in the last match so I’m expecting Lauren Hemp to have even more attacking responsibility for the favourite.
Lauren Hemp has played as a striker in England’s last two matches. She found the net against China but was part of an attacking unit that disappointed against Nigeria. I’m backing her to bounce back and core for the favourite here.
The Manchester City attacker averaged 3.2 shots per game in the Women’s Super League last season and could prove crucial if England are to go on and win this tournament.
