Team News
Phil Neville turned his team against Japan, made seven changes including Ellen White who scored both goals at Le Havre and made it three for the competition.
Ajara Nchout scored twice against New Zealand including an important 95th minute goal which ensured their qualification.
Preview
While England have made smooth progress to this stage, Lionesses has done that because of a low score victory rather than blowing the team. That reduced the appeal of supporting a wide margin victory as Neville's side beat the handicap -2 on 21/20 (2.05).
Cameroon are mostly able to limit their opposition, especially in the early stages of the match. Canada made their breakthrough in the first round while the Netherlands was held until the 41st minute.

Prediction: England 3-0 Cameroon
Despite losing two of their three Group E matches, Cameroon qualified for the knockout stage as one of four third best teams after a last minute winner against New Zealand.
However, defeat in Canada and the Netherlands showed England had to make light work of their opponents - especially after Neville's team was given good training against Japan.
