Sweden W vs Italy W Prediction & Betting Tips - Womens World Cup
by Joseph King | in Womens World Cup Predictions
Group G in the 2023 Women’s World Cup sees group leaders Sweden taking on second-place Italy. Sweden won their opening match in the World Cup by a score of 2-1 against South Africa last Sunday. A victory for the Blue and Yellow combined with Argentina failing to beat South Africa would see them through to the round of 16. Italy left it late in their opener but eventually claimed a 1-0 win thanks to a goal in the 87th minute. The Italians are looking at a similar situation where they can seal a spot in the knockout rounds with the final group fixture yet to be played. A win over Sweden combined with South Africa failing to defeat Argentina would see Le Azzurre through.
The Swedes have been one of the most consistent teams in Women’s World Cup history despite the fact that they have never lifted the trophy. The FIFA third-ranked team in the world has qualified from the group stage in seven of the eight total iterations of the tournament. Their semi-final appearance in 2019 was the fourth time they had made it to the final four. Sweden come into this match in a wobbly run of form with only three wins from their last eight outings. While it isn’t the most promising stretch of results, the level of opposition that Sweden was playing was that of the highest-level. Their win over South Africa in the previous game was the first time that Sweden had played a team outside of the top-15 world rankings.
Italy will be riding high after their late winner over Argentina in matchday one. The result is the latest in a string of impressive showings for the Italian women. They’ve now extended their unbeaten run to five matches, four of which have ended in victories. It was also the third consecutive clean sheet for Le Azzurre and the sixth match in the last seven where they have gotten on the scoresheet. This is Italy’s fourth appearance at the Women’s World Cup and they made it to the quarter-final in 2019, equalling their best ever finish.

Our Sweden W vs Italy W Prediction
Italy are on a strong run of form but haven’t played top-level competition during that time. Despite a mixed streak of results, Sweden are still one of the very best teams in the world and will provide the Italians with a serious test. Given Sweden’s excellent recent record against lower-level opposition combined with Italy’s struggles against the world’s best teams, backing the Nordic nation looks the way to go. This is also an excellent price as the bookmakers look to be slightly overvaluing Italy given their recent run. Our Sweden (W) vs Italy (W) prediction is for Sweden (W) to win.
