Sweden take on the USA in a fascinating Women's World Cup last 16 clash on Sunday., Our exclusive betting bonus tip for the match will give you the best possible chance of enjoying the game in style.
Our expert tip looks at the football betting odds for the game, as well as several key stats and the recent form of the sides. So without further ado, let’s take a look at the two teams.
After a last gasp winner against South Africa, Sweden’s World Cup campaign burst into life with a stunning 5-0 demolition of Italy on gameday two. They followed that up with a comfortable 2-0 win over Argentina to give them maximum points from a tricky looking group.
The Swedes will be looking to replicate their fantastic run at the 2019 World Cup, where they made it all the way to the semi finals before agonisingly losing to the Netherlands after extra time.
It’s fair to say that this isn’t the USA team we have come to know in recent years. After a routine 3-0 win over Vietnam, they stumbled to draws against the Netherlands and Portugal. It was the latter of those performances that caused the biggest cause for concern, as they failed to seriously test a limited Portuguese side and almost fell victim to a massive shock.
Improvements are clearly needed by the US, and they will not be helped by the loss of star player Rose Lavelle through suspension. Nevertheless, this is a team stacked with world class talent, and if they can find top gear, they should be more than a match for the Swedes.
Remarkably, Sweden and USA have met at the last five World Cups. Unlike this game, all of those encounters were at the group stage of the tournament. USA hold a 4-1 overall advantage in World Cup games between the two teams, with their last encounter finishing in a 2-0 victory for the US at World Cup 2019.
Our statistical highlights for the game focus on the recent form of the teams. These stats aim to give you important sports betting info that will help you find the best wagers for the game.
Despite recent form, most betting apps have the USA as favourites for the game at around 21/10. Sweden can be backed at 13/5 with the draw priced at 21/10.
The fact that the USA are favourites is mainly down to their overall World Cup record rather than their form over the last two weeks. We think the US are way too short to back here, but equally, it is impossible to totally discount them.
Sweden have been impressive, but is by far their hardest assignment so far. We think they will dominate large parts of the game, but we’re not willing to totally write the US off just yet. This game could go the distance, so we are recommending the 21/10 on a draw after 90 minutes.
