In their opening match of the Women's World Cup 2023, Denmark Women will go up against China PR Women at the Perth Rectangular Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Danes are coming into the tournament on the back of a 2-0 defeat against Spain in a friendly a fortnight ago. Ona Batlle and Salma Paraluello scored in either half to guide La Roja to victory. China, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 2-2 friendly draw against Colombia last week. The Steel Roses booked their spot in Australia and New Zealand courtesy of a dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Korea Republic in the final of the 2022 AFC Asian Women's Cup. While, Denmark qualified for their fifth World Cup by finishing at the top of their qualification group with maximum points garnered from eight games. Denmark and China will try to get important points because England is perhaps too tough a competitor and favorite for the 1st place. But for this encounter, I am expecting a win or a draw for China for the following reasons:

Firstly. After a 16-year absence, Denmark will finally return to the world stage after making light work of their qualifying campaign. They won all eight of their qualifying games, ensuring that they will make their fifth World Cup appearance. After failing to make it out of the group stage in their two appearances at the tournament, Denmark are hoping to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since 1995. Their morale would not be helped by their most recent loss to Spain to end their four game winning run in the friendly games they had been playing in preparation for the World Cup. China are however historically more successful side at this tournament.

Secondly. China are preparing to make their eighth World Cup appearance after securing qualification with a successful performance at the 2022 Asian Cup. After easing through the group stage, China claimed a 3-1 quarter-final victory over Vietnam to advance to the semi-finals and seal their place at the World Cup. With qualification assured, they went on to beat Japan and South Korea to lift the Asian Cup for the ninth time in their history. They have also reached the knockout rounds in their previous seven World Cup appearances. They are on a good momentum.

One spot separates these two sides in the FIFA world rankings, highlighting how closely-matched they are. A draw is very likely between these two teams. Although one side could nick a win, I am backing China to be able to do that. So, it is a win or a draw for China for me.

在2023年女足世界杯的首场比赛中，丹麦女足将于周六下午在珀斯长方形体育场迎战中国女足。丹麦人在两周前的友谊赛中0比2输给了西班牙。奥纳·巴特列和萨尔玛·帕拉韦洛在上半场和下半场各进一球，帮助皇马取得胜利。与此同时，中国队在上周与哥伦比亚队的友谊赛中以2比2战平。在2022年亚洲女足杯决赛中，“钢玫瑰”以3-2逆转战胜韩国队，获得了进入澳大利亚和新西兰的入场券。与此同时，丹麦以8场比赛的最高分排名小组第一，第五次晋级世界杯。丹麦和中国将努力获得重要的积分，因为英格兰可能是一个太强硬的竞争对手，也是第一名的热门。但对于这场比赛，我期待中国队取得一胜或一平，原因如下:

首先。阔别世界杯16年后，丹麦在预选赛中轻松获胜，最终将重返世界舞台。他们赢得了预选赛的全部八场比赛，确保了他们将第五次参加世界杯。丹麦在两届世界杯上都未能从小组赛出线，他们希望自1995年以来首次进入淘汰赛。他们最近输给西班牙，结束了他们为准备世界杯而进行的友谊赛的四连胜，这对他们的士气没有任何帮助。然而，从历史上看，中国队在本届世界杯上更加成功。

其次。中国队在2022年亚洲杯上的成功表现确保了出线资格，他们正准备第八次参加世界杯。在小组赛轻松出线后，中国队在四分之一决赛中以3:1战胜越南队，晋级半决赛，并锁定了世界杯入场券。在确定出线资格后，他们继续击败日本和韩国，在他们的历史上第九次举起亚洲杯。他们在之前的7次世界杯比赛中都打进了淘汰赛。他们的势头很好。

在国际足联的世界排名中，这两支球队只差一个名次，这突显出他们的实力是多么接近。这两个队很可能打平。尽管一方可能会取得胜利，但我支持中国能够做到这一点。所以，对我来说，这对中国来说是一场胜利或平局。
