Sweden to lay down a marker in this World Cup
The first of our Women’s World Cup tips is Sweden to win with the added security of the draw no bet. This means the bookmaker gives us our stake back should the match be a draw after 90 minutes.
Sweden conceded just once across their three group matches and they topped Group G by five points. They were unfortunate that the draw pitted them against Group E, a group that included both of the finalists from the last World Cup. However, they will be full of confidence coming into this mammoth clash.
These sides met in the group stages of the Olympic Games last year. Sweden won that game 3-0 and created an abundance of chances. The Swedes managed 17 shots, nine of which were on target.
The USWNT won one and drawn two so far in this tournament and this is the first time they have been odds-against to win in this tournament. Sweden are ranked 3rd in the world and represent the United States’ toughest test so far.

Goals to flow after the break
Our second prediction for Sweden vs United States is the second half to see more goals than the first half.
The United States are yet to discover their best form. They have struggled to be at their scintillating best and their world champions title is in real jeopardy if they cannot remedy that soon.
Vlatko Andonovski’s team failed to win their final group match against Portugal when they needed to victory by a good margin to guarantee top spot in the group. They created several chances but were unable to find the net against a side they had on the ropes. They are unlikely to have the luxury of peppering the goal against Sweden.
The first half should be tightly-contested with neither team wanting to give away an early lead. This, combined with the United States’ woes in front of goal make this an appealing bet. It has also landed in two of Sweden’s three World Cup matches so far.
Sweden vs USA Bet 2: Highest scoring half – second half @ 11/10 Bet9ja
Both teams to find the net
Our final bet for this match is both teams to score in regulation time.
Sweden have shown real attacking menace in their three group games. They scored nine goals in their three matches and the 5-0 drubbing of Italy was a particular highlight.
There will have been an inquest in the USA’s camp after the group stages. The attacking department had ample opportunities to score against Portugal and I expect them to find the net in this crucial knockout tie.
Knockout stage matches tend to open up when one team is chasing the game so I’m hoping for an exciting second half in this clash that could play a crucial role in who wins the tournament.
