England play Japan on Wednesday, June 19 at the Stade de Nice in Nice, France. Here’s all you need to know about the game.

England and Japan face each to decide who will finish top of Group D. The English currently top of the group ahead of Japan having beaten Scotland and Argentina in their other group games.  Japan also defeated Scotland in their last game, but, were only able to muster a 0-0 draw in their opening group stage game against Argentina.

It leaves the 2011 World Champions two points off Wednesday’s rivals meaning nothing less than a win will do if they wish to top the group and avoid a meeting with either the Netherlands or Canada in the next round. England, however, merely need to avoid defeat, however, this game will be Phil Neville’s side first real test of the World Cup so far and he will be eager to see his side put in an impressive performance ahead of their first knockout game.

Both sides can take encouragement from recent fixtures between the two. In Women World Cup matches, Japan have the upper hand, having only lost one of their three games against England at World Cups. The Asian side overcame England in 2007 and most notable in the semi-finals four years ago. Their only defeat to the English was in the group stages of the 2011 tournament, a tournament they went on to win. England on the other hand, defeated Japan in their last meaningful matchup before the World Cup. The Three Lions put three goals past the Japanese on the way to the SheBelieves Cup back in March.
