Tuesday’s Best FIFA Women’s World Cup Picks: China vs. Haiti

China vs. Haiti

Haiti may have lost 1-0 to England, but the game was incredibly lopsided throughout. The English had possession 75% of the time, they outshot the Haitians 21-7, and they had 11 shots on goal to just two for Haiti. All that is to say, Haiti didn’t play very well, the English just couldn’t find the back of the net.

Meanwhile, China’s first game went as expected. They played even with Denmark from nearly start to finish, but they were ultimately beaten by the game’s lone goal which came in the 89th minute. This Chinese side is very talented, and while it’s hard to see a path for them to get out of the group after losing to Denmark, they are far superior to Haiti.

Look for China to have plenty of opportunities in this game. If they are able to score early, they may try to pour it on, because ultimately their only real avenue for advancing is by having a solid goal differential. Though they’re not an offensive team, they should be able to score a few times in this one.

Pick: China and Over 1.5 Goals (+100)
