Allianz Stadium will host England vs Denmark match on Friday. England Women will like to follow up a narrow win over Haiti in their second match of the Women's World Cup 2023 on Friday. Denmark would also hope to begin the tournament with consecutive victories after beating China in their opening game. Georgia Stanway gave England the lead with her retaken penalty. The Lionesses were unable to add more goals to their tally but managed to hold strong to get their campaign up and running with a narrow 1–0 victory. England can secure their place in the last 16 with a game to spare if they win and Haiti pick up at least a point against China.
Denmark are competing in their first World Cup since 2007. They started their campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over China. Impressively, Denmark have now won six of their last seven international games. They have failed to progress from the group stage in their last two appearances at the World Cup finals, but they can book their place in the knockout rounds this time if they claim all three points and China avoid defeat against Haiti.

FIFA Women's World Cup 2023: England vs Denmark | Team News
England would have been relieved to see Millie Bright play the full 90 minutes in her first competitive game since April after recovering from a knee injury. Wiegmann is most likely to name an unchanged lineup, Bright will feature in a back four alongside Jess Carter, Lucy Bronze, and Alex Greenwood. Alessia Russo is set to lead the line for the European champions, and she will be joined in a front three by Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp.
For Denmark, Vangsgaard may have to settle for a place among the substitutes despite coming off the bench to score her first international goal in the 1-0 win over China. Denmark boss Lars Sondergaard could also choose for consistency and name an unchanged side for Friday's contest. Stine Ballisager will feature in central defence alongside Simone Boye, and the pair will hope to help their country claim consecutive clean sheets.

Earps; Bronze, Bright, Carter, Greenwood; Walsh, Stanway, Toone; Kelly, Hemp, Russo
