THE LOWDOWN
HAITI
- For the second game in succession, it was a penalty that condemned Haiti to a one-goal defeat, this time against China in Adelaide, a testament to how well their backline and goalkeeper have performed, but the harsh reality is that it has been in vain.
- Key for Haiti going into this final round of group fixtures is them testing the opposition goalkeeper significantly more, having managed just three shots on the target over the course of their two matches played thus far.
DENMARK
- Whilst Denmark deserve plaudits for keeping themselves in the game against England last time out after conceding in the sixth minute, they were second-best throughout and never really looked like getting back into proceedings, eventually losing 1-0.
- Locked on three points with China, Denmark will now be banking on getting the better of Haiti and England doing them a favour against China to guarantee their passage into the knockout stage.

THE KEY STATS
- Haiti are aiming to pick up their first points in a FIFA Women’s World Cup match having lost their opening two fixtures.
- Haiti are facing European opposition for the second time in this tournament after defeat against England in their opening match (L 1-0).
- Denmark are aiming to win two matches in a FIFA Women’s World Cup group campaign for the first time.
- Denmark have never finished higher than third place in a group at the finals. They finished third in 1991, 1995 and 2007.
- Denmark’s only two previous FIFA Women’s World Cup matches against Concacaf opposition were both against the USA (L 2-0 1995 group stage and L 3-0 1999 group stage).
THE PREDICTION
Whilst Haiti are a well-drilled unit, defensively solid and tough to break down, they may need to sacrifice some of that defensive stability and push bodies forward here in a bid to gain the three points required to give them a chance of sneaking into the knockout stage. However, this could play into Denmark’s favour with the likes of Penille Harder potentially being afforded more goalscoring opportunities. Their superior experience should come to the fore here and makes backing a Denmark victory the sensible play.
TIP: DENMARK TO WIN
