However, Wiegman stated that her players will not become overly emotional and will treat Sunday as just another significant game in defense of their European championship title.
"I have learned about the history and rivalry, but our focus is on our objectives and our style of play," Wiegman mentioned during a press conference.
"There is always pressure on England, and we will aim to play well, hoping to maintain possession and capitalize on open spaces."
A win against Wales will secure England's advancement to the quarter-finals, while they could also progress with a draw, provided that the Netherlands does not defeat France.
Even a loss to Wales by fewer than three goals, along with a Netherlands defeat, would still allow them to advance.
If opponents elevate their performance against England, defender Alex Greenwood noted that she and her teammates have become accustomed to being the target.
"It's something we are probably used to now," she remarked. "That's the pressure we've invited due to our success, and it's something we should take pride in," she added.
"As a team, we don't dwell too much on that. We concentrate on ourselves and our game plan."
Wales, having lost to both the Netherlands and France, still have a chance to reach the quarter-finals, but they must defeat England by at least four goals and hope the Netherlands loses to France.
If there is additional pressure on England this Sunday, they demonstrated in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Netherlands in a must-win situation that it does not affect their composure.
"We thrive under pressure, and we excel in those situations," Greenwood told reporters. "(Wednesday) was a high-pressure match, and we performed exceptionally well. Tomorrow will be another high-pressure encounter.
"We're all very excited about it."
Sunday will mark Wiegman's 15th Euros match as a head coach, including six with the European champions, the Netherlands, in 2017. Her only defeat has been England's 2-1 loss to France last week.
