There are three fixtures to be played at the 2023 Women’s World Cup on the 28th of July, including the meeting between China and Haiti.
The game will be played at the Hindmarsh Stadium and both teams enter the match without a point to their name having lost their opening group matches.
China W come into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss against Denmark W in their first match in Group D.
The game appeared to be heading for a draw and then Denmark W struck in the 89th minute to seal the victory.
The result against Denmark W was the first loss in 4 games for China W.
They previously beat Russia W (twice) in friendlies and were held to a 2-2 draw with Colombia W, also in a friendly fixture.
In terms of competitive matches, China W have been struggling to win games and they have recorded just a single victory from their last 10 in all competitions.
Looking at their Women’s World Cup record and China W have picked up just 1 win from their 6 most recent games.
The win came over South Africa W at the 2019 edition of the tournament and China W have lost 4 of their last 6 Women’s World Cup fixtures.
Trends show China W have not managed to score a goal in their 3 most recent matches in the Women’s World Cup.
Haiti come into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss against England W in their opening match of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 29th minute from the penalty spot and it was a retaken penalty after the initial one was saved but the goalkeeper moved off her line.
There were positives to take from the England W defeat and Haiti W could easily have scored a couple of goals if they had taken their chances.
However, the defeat means Haiti W have lost each of their last 5 games in all competitions.
They lost 3 matches at the CAC Women’s Games, with the defeats coming against Guatemala, Venezuela, and Costa Rica.
Plus, there was a 2-1 defeat to Korea Republic in a friendly.
This is the first time Haiti have played at the Women’s World Cup and they qualified by beating Chile 2-1 in a playoff.
Team news: China W could make one change from the team that started against Denmark W, with Wang Shuang coming into the midfield.
Haiti W are unlikely to make any changes to their starting XI and that means Melchie Dumornay will continue in attack along with Roselord Borgella.
Haiti W showed enough against England W to suggest they are going to give China W problems in this game.
However, they could not take their chances in that match and China W may only need a single goal to win this game.
