Women’s World Cup 2023: England vs Colombia Betting Props
England deserves to come in as the soccer betting favorite for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 quarterfinal clash against Colombia. However, keep in mind that the Lionesses’ top player won’t be able to play and Las Cafeteras already pulled off a stunner against a European powerhouse. Here are some betting props for you to increase your winning chances.

Correct Score
Not having Lauren James, who was sent off in the Round of 16 match against Nigeria, isn’t ideal, but England has talent to spare. Yes, James is the team’s top scorer in the tournament with three goals and leads the Lionesses in assists with three, but Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp should be able to lead the attacking unit against Las Cafeteras.

That’s why I believe the Lionesses deserve to be the betting online favorites and will end up winning. However, it won’t be easy. Colombia is highly motivated after advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time. Plus, let’s not forget that they already defeated Germany, a very similar team to England. Finally, Linda Diaz is having a great tournament.
Summing up, you can expect a back-and-forth battle that, I believe, England will end up winning 2-1. Betting on that correct score gives you the chance of winning $850 per every $100 wagered.
One more thing: Keep in mind that two of England’s previous four matches finished with a one-goal difference. The same happened in three of Colombia’s last four matches.
Both Teams to Score in the Match
First, with a ticket to the semifinals on the line, both will go all-in right from the start. Second, England scored in three of their previous four matches, including a 6-1 victory over China. Third, Colombia also scored in three of their previous four matches.
As if that wasn’t enough, not including James, five other English players have scored at least one goal. As for Las Cafeteras, three different players have scored at least one goal. The thing is that both Maria Usme and Linda Caicedo have scored twice. Speaking of Caicedo, make sure to keep an eye on her. The 18-year-old striker, who plays for Real Madrid, is the favorite to win the award for Best Young Player.
The best news is that the option of both teams to score in the match (yes) offers a +175 price in the sportsbook, which gives you the chance of winning $175 per every $100 wagered. You may also want to keep in mind that the only previous meeting between these two finished 2-1.
Time of First Goal Brackets
As mentioned before, England is the most experienced team, which is why I think the Lionesses will take the reins of the match from the beginning, like they did in three of their previous four matches. While they drew 0-0 to Nigeria in the Round of 16, England scored the opener in all of their three victories. Plus, they scored in the first half in all three. Finally, the latest opener was at 22 minutes.
In other words, they’re determined to take an early advantage and then manage the match. Colombia also scored the opener in all three of their victories but it took them more time. The earliest opener was at 30 minutes and against South Korea, a team inferior to England.
Go with 11-20 minutes at +450, which gives you the chance of winning $450 per every $100 wagered. Once England scores, Colombia will be forced to attack, which is why I expect a close battle.
