Women's World Cup 2023 quarter-final predictions

Haimi world

There are only eight teams left in the Fifa Women's World Cup, and they are all dreaming of glory in the final at Stadium Australia in Sydney on 20 August.

England are one of them, but will the Lionesses continue their progress when they face Colombia in the quarter-finals? BBC Sport football expert Rachel Brown-Finnis is predicting the outcome of all 64 matches at the tournament.

She correctly guessed the outcome of all eight last-16 ties, and 27 of the 48 group games, giving her a success rate of 63% for the tournament. 

Before the tournament, she chose eight of the 16 teams that progressed to the first knockout stage, including England, who she believes will win the World Cup.  

This World Cup is wide open. All eight remaining teams will believe they can win it from here, and every quarter-final is going to be extremely close.

Spain have scored plenty of goals so far at this tournament but I've been really impressed by the Netherlands' all-round play.

They are both in good form I don't think you'd consider either of these teams to be the favourite to progress, which makes my job of predicting the winner very tricky!

Japan are free-scoring and also probably play the most free-flowing football we've seen at this tournament. But, after seeing how Sweden dug deep to get past the USA in the last 16, I just have a feeling they will find a way of winning this game too.
