Monday, June 17
Germany vs South Africa
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Germany -1249 / South Africa +2414
The only bet here is Germany -2 3/4 , -107. Although Germany only beat China by a goal and then only beat Spain by a goal, 1-0 in each match, the Germans should have no trouble beating South Africa at least 3-0 in this match.
South Africa has lost 2-7 to Norway, 1-3 to Spain, and 0-1 to China in their last 3 games. The South Africans have no shot of keeping this match close. Here’s where backing a team on the handicap, Germany in this case, makes the most sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Germany handicap
Spain vs China
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Spain -112 / China +388
The Spanish are favored for a reason. They should win this game in regulation, but they face one of the toughest teams at the 2019 Women’s World Cup on June 17. China committed 19 fouls in the 0-1 loss to Germany. Versus South Africa, they played a slightly cleaner game, committing only 12 fouls.
China will do what it takes to keep Spain from scoring a goal. This one could end up in a draw with Spain extremely frustrated from beginning to end. The draw is +186.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
Norway vs Republic of Korea
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Norway -256 / Republic of Korea +577
Norway has played extremely well during the 2019 Women’s World Cup. In their first match, they dominated Nigeria 3-0. Then in their second match, they hung with France. Although the French beat the Norwegians, Norway only lost by a goal, 2-1.
South Korea, by contrast, has had a mess of a World Cup. France dominated them 4-0 while Nigeria beat them 2-0. Right now, the handicap on Norway is -1 ¼, -120. Norway should beat South Korea by at least 2 goals, meaning they’re a solid play on the handicap.
Soccer Betting Pick: Norway handicap
France vs Nigeria
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: France -833 / Nigeria +1963
France and the United States are the two most feared teams at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. The French dominated South Korea 4-0. They could only beat Norway by a single goal, 2-1, though.
Hanging with Norway won’t open the door for Nigeria to win on Monday. However, although Nigeria shouldn’t beat the French straight up, they could win on the handicap. Nigeria is +2 ¼, -107. France would have to beat Nigeria by at least 3 goals. The Nigerians are worth backing on the handicap, just like Norway and Germany are.
Soccer Betting Pick: Nigeria handicap
Tuesday, June 18
Australia vs Jamaica
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Australia -4999 / Jamaica +4900
Australia is a major favorite against Jamaica. The Australians should be. They lost only 1-2 to Italy in their first Women’s World Cup match. In their second match, they bounced back with a huge 3-2 win over Brazil.
Jamaica has been outscored a combined 8-0 in two World Cup matches. They fell 0-3 to Brazil and 0-5 to Italy. Australia should dominate but the handicap is a massive -3 3/4 goals. Australia could beat Jamaica by only three in this. Going with Jamaica at +3 3/4, -120 makes the most sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Jamaica handicap
Brazil vs Italy
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Brazil +137 / Italy +189
This is a key match for Brazil who dominated Jamaica but fell to Australia. Italy has looked fantastic in the 2-1 victory over Australia and the 5-0 beat down of Jamaica. Not only that, but Brazil might push too hard because they’re tied 3-3 in points with Australia in Group C.
Italy can catch Brazil on the counter. The Italians probably should be the favorites in this match. They deserve backing at the odds to get the job done in regulation.
Soccer Betting Pick: Italy
Wednesday, June 19
England vs Japan
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: England +100 / Japan +290
This might be the best game in Matchday 2 at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. England has looked great in a couple of wins: 2-1 over Scotland and 1-0 over Argentina. However, Japan hasn’t played badly at all. The Japanese drew with Argentina 0-0 and then beat Scotland 2-1.
This match figures to end in a draw. The draw is at +219. Japan is a clear-cut second behind England in Group D with 4 points. They won’t push too hard. Neither will England who must just prevent an implosion to move on.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
Argentina vs Scotland
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Argentina +468 / Scotland -178
Scotland’s group is brutal. England, Argentina, and Japan are all part of the group. Scotland must pick up a big win against Argentina and hope for rival England to dominate Japan. That’s not likely to happen. Expect the Scottish to take out their frustrations on the Argentinians after what’s already been a disappointing Women’s World Cup.
Soccer Betting Pick: Scotland
Thursday, June 20
Canada vs Netherlands
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Canada +169 / Netherlands +143
Both Canada and the Netherlands have 6 points in Group E. Neither squad must do much in this match to move on. That means both play conservatively throughout. A draw at +215 is the most logical outcome.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
New Zealand vs Cameroon
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: New Zealand +129 / Cameroon +179
Neither New Zealand nor Cameroon has much shot of catching Canada or the Netherlands. This match is all about pride. Both of these squads have played hard, but not hard enough, in two losses at the Women’s World Cup. The key match was Cameroon’s 1-0 loss to Canada.
Cameroon really stepped it up in that one. They offer better odds than New Zealand here. It’s hard to see where New Zealand has the edge. Taking a shot on the dog in this match makes the most sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Cameroon +179
USA vs Sweden
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: USA -400 / Sweden +900
Here’s another match where the top two teams are running away with the group. The United States mustn’t beat Sweden to advance. Sweden mustn’t beat the U.S. Expect both teams, contenders to win the Women’s World Cup, to play this one like an international friendly.
The draw at +399 is the most appropriate wager. The U.S. can’t help but dominate in most matches. But, the Swedes are a powerful team that has a good history, a 1-1 draw versus the U.S. at the 2016 Olympics and a close 0-1 loss in 2017, versus the Americans.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
Chile vs Thailand
- 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Odds: Chile -526 / Thailand +956
Thailand has -17 points in Group F. That makes them the worst team at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. At least they made the tournament, right? Chile should win on the handicap at -2, -109. That’s the only possible play on this match.
Soccer Betting Pick: Chile handicap
