2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Betting Tips - Can the England Women’s team add the 2023 Women’s World Cup to their recent UEFA Euro 2022 success? Here we look at their chances in our latest Women’s World Cup football betting tips.
- England Women
- 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup
- Group D
- Odds to win World Cup - 4/1
- Head Coach - Sarina Wiegman
England’s Women are the second-betting favourites. Sarina Wiegman’s team are 4/1 in the latest FIFA Women’s World Cup betting, which puts them just behind the USA Women, who are the 5/2 favourite to win the competition for a record fifth time.
Have England Women ever won the FIFA World Cup?
The England Women’s national football team has never won the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The best the Lionesses have ever managed was a third-place finish in Canada at the 2015 edition.
Four years later in France, England almost managed it again. But this time they fell short, losing the Bronze medal match 2-1 to Sweden.
Of the eight Women’s World Cups held so far, England has qualified for five. So this will be their sixth attempt at winning the big one. It is also the fifth successive Women’s World Cup England has qualified for.
Group D Betting
England has found themselves in Group D at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. This puts them in competition with Denmark, China, and Haiti. The Lionesses fixtures are:
- Saturday 22nd July - England vs Haiti
- Friday 28th July - England vs Denmark
- Tuesday 1st August - China vs England
In the latest betting to win Group D, England are the favourites at 1/16 to top the group with the best football betting sites. To qualify out of Group D, England are even shorter, at 1/200.
Injuries to key players
In the build-up to the competition, England were hit by injuries to three key players. If the Lionesses are to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup, they will need to do it without Leah Williamson, Fran Kirby, and Beth Mead.
Can Sarina Wiegman be the difference for England?
Sarina Wiegman made history last summer leading the Lionesses to win their first major European trophy.

But what England does have going in their favour is their head coach Sarina Wiegman. In Wiegman, England has a proven winner, and this is why they are one of the most popular football betting tips to win the competition.
Sarina Wiegman’s team are the 2022 UEFA Women’s Championship holders. Wieigman previously coached the Netherlands to the same title in 2017.
As well as winning back-to-back Euros, Wiegman is also a multiple winner of the Best FIFA Women’s Coach award. She first won it in 2017, then again in 2020, and now she holds it again after winning it in 2022.

The presence of Sarina Wiegman steering the ship for England gives the Lionesses real optimism they can win the World Cup for the first time in their history.
Wiegman has shown she can win the big events. And with the talent at her disposal in this England squad, it would be no great shock if she can land another major trophy in Australia and New Zealand over the coming weeks.
