England vs. China Start Time, Where to Watch, and Odds
- Date: Tuesday, August 1, 2023
- Start Time: 7:00 am ET
- Where to Watch: FOX
The England National Team hasn't looked overly impressive in their first two games of the World Cup. However, they did the job, earning back-to-back 1-0 wins against Haiti and Denmark.
England earned an early goal in both of those first two contests but haven't been able to pull away in either game.
They'll take on a China team that has gone 1-0-1 in Group D. China lost to Denmark, 1-0, but beat Haiti 1-0.
This Group of four has had little scoring throughout the tournament. That's likely what you'll see in this game too.

England vs. China Odds and Betting Data
| Result | Odds | Total Odds |
|---|---|---|
| England Win | -255 | 71.83% |
| Draw | +360 | 21.74% |
| China Win | +600 | 14.29% |
England has won back-to-back tight matchups against lesser competition. They were dealt a pretty easy Group between China, Denmark, and Haiti. But unless China earns a massive win against England, it's unlikely that China will play beyond this match on Tuesday if Denmark dominates Haiti, as expected.
Still, the draw at +360 is appealing with an anticipated low-scoring game. For example, a draw is projected to hit in one of every five games. But England easily matches up better and should execute at a higher level moving forward.
England vs. China Prediction
China only four eight shots and four shots on goal against Haiti in their most recent match. They had more fouls, one red card, and the same amount of corners as Haiti.
That red card came in the 29th minute for China. Eventually, they still could score on a penalty shot from Wang Shuang in the 74th minute. But China being down a woman likely hurt their goal differential from rising. They had to play more defense than they would've liked.
On the other hand, England caught Denmark sleeping with a goal at the six-minute mark. Still, England held possession for over 70 minutes and took 13 shots to Denmark's six. England thoroughly outplayed Denmark, but like most teams in the World Cup, England hasn't executed at a high level. They would like to score some insurance goals.
Against China, they'll dominate possession, get plenty of shots, and earn many corner kicks. England should look their best in this matchup.

England vs. China World Cup Odds
It's unlikely that China will make it out of the Group State after its matchup against England.
Meanwhile, England is +650 to win the World Cup right now. They've had clean sheets in back-to-back games in the Group Stage and will likely earn another against China.
The offense has been good. They'll need to execute at a higher level and add insurance goals. However, most of the top teams have struggled to score consistently. Therefore, England can make it to the Final if they play splendidly defensively.
