England will take on Nigeria in their 2023 Women's World Cup Round-of-16 clash at the Suncorp Stadium on Monday. The match is sure to be an exciting encounter but England have the edge in this fixture.
England finished top of their group with three wins from three games, while Nigeria came second in their group with two draws and a win. England will be looking to their star performer Lauren James to lead the way in the final third. James has scored three goals in the tournament so far and has set up three more to aid the national team's cause.
Nigeria have only scored three goals in the tournament so far and all three came in their win over Australia in the group stage. They are not the favourites going into the game but they will be hoping to give it their best to pull off a shock result.
