Denmark are looking to book their place in the FIFA Women’s World Cup knockout stages against winless Haiti. Despite losing their opening two games and sitting at the bottom of Group D, Haiti still have the chance to progress to the knockout rounds.
Overview
As they enter Matchday Three of their inaugural Women’s World Cup, Haiti is still looking for their first goals and points of the competition. Haiti would have been hoping for a win against China when their opponents were down to 10 in the first half after suffering a narrow 1-0 loss to England in their opening match. Despite having a numerical advantage for more than 60 minutes, Haiti was unsuccessful after Wang Shuang’s penalty in the 74th minute.
Even though Haiti has already dropped its last six international contests and failed to score in three of its last four games, they are still in the running for a place in the round of 16. If the 53rd-ranked team defeats Denmark and England triumphs over China in the other group match, they will advance to the knockout stages. Amalie Vangsgaard’s injury-time goal gave Denmark, who are competing in the Women’s World Cup for the first time since 2007, a 1-0 victory over China to start the competition. They were unable to learn anything from Friday’s match with England. Lauren James’ first-half goal handed Denmark a razor-thin loss.
Denmark is in second place after two sets of games and tied with third-place China in terms of points. Although they are three points behind group leaders England. The Danes are attempting to advance past the group stage for the first time since 1995 after failing to do so at their last two World Cup championships. Although there are many conceivable outcomes for the last group game, Denmark knows that a victory will offer them the best chance to advance, and they will undoubtedly be confident of picking up three points given that they have won five of their past seven international matches.
