The Super Falcons and the Lionesses meet on today, Monday August 7, at 08:30.
Previously, Nigeria showed their gallant spirit when they roared back against Australia from 1-0 down to win 3-2. The Super Falcons cannot be taken for granted as they make a second successive appearance in the last 16.
England, hope to see similarities between this World Cup campaign and last season’s successful Uefa European Championship. After starting both group stages with 1-0 wins and finishing with victories by a five-goal margin, they’re also still to concede from open play.
The Lionesses have overcome the absence of injured midfielder Keira Walsh with Lauren James taking centre stage against China where they won 6-1 by contributing to five of the six goals England scored.
