Why Bet on Sweden versus Spain

The Swedes are two matches away from winning the 2023 FIFA World Cup because they have played excellent soccer throughout. Before the victories over the U.S. and Japan, Sweden had ended their group stage matches with a 5-0 win against Italy and a 2-0 victory over Argentina.

No doubt, Sweden got lucky versus the U.S. But the win over Japan was legit. The Swedes are peaking at the perfect time and deserve a long look to not only beat Spain but to also win the World Cup title.

Why Bet on Spain versus Sweden

Spain’s victories against Switzerland and the Netherlands speak to the team’s quality. El Roja has dominated when required, beating Costa Rica and Zambia by multiple goals.

The loss to Japan was meaningless because Spain had already locked down a trip to the Round of 16. The 5-1 win over Switzerland and the 2-1 victory against the Netherlands are signs that Spain is ready to lift the trophy.

Sweden vs. Spain Final Betting Analysis

This is a battle between two of the top four remaining teams at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Swedes and Spanish are both playing excellent soccer.

Sweden, in particular, has beaten two of the top teams at the WC in their last couple of matches. However, the dream ends on Tuesday.

Spain beat a quality squad in the Netherlands. Although the Dutch played without their top two stars, the Spanish dominated the match, outshooting the Netherlands 28 to 10 with 8 shots on goal compared to 4.

El Roja controlled possession 62% to 38%, which means the Dutch sat back on defense and tried to force a draw. Sweden could try similar tactics.

If the Swedes don’t, this might get out of control early. Spain is the better overall team. So while Sweden has played well enough to win this, the Swedes face a third straight quality opponent. Eventually, things will go south for the underdog.

Spain is the play. Back El Roja to march to the Women’s World Cup Finals after a regulation victory over Sweden.
