Why Bet on Sweden versus the Japan
The Swedes did something that many believed was unthinkable, ending two-time defending World Cup Champion the United States’ international reign. For sure, Sweden got help from Megan Rapinoe, who missed a penalty kick.
Still, keeping the U.S. from scoring a goal in regulation and then forcing penalty kicks shows how determined Sweden is. The Swedes are three matches away from World Cup glory and will give it their all on Friday.

Why Bet on Japan versus Sweden
No team left at this year’s Women’s World Cup, not England, not France, not Spain, has dominated their opponents as thoroughly as the Japanese.
Japan yielded their first goal of the tournament in their Round of 16 victory over the Norwegians. Even though they gave up a goal, Japan beat Norway via multiple goals in the 3-1 victory.
4-0 wins against Spain, a 2-0 win over Costa Rica, and a 5-0 win over Zambia tells us all we must know about well the Japanese are playing.

Final Betting Analysis: Sweden vs. Japan
Sweden played excellent defensive soccer to keep the Americans from posting a goal in the penalty kick victory over the United States. But although the Swedes have momentum due to the win, Japan is playing like the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup winner.
The Japanese have been the most consistent squad at this year’s Women’s World Cup. The Japanese have also played the most devastating soccer, holding opponents to less possession, fewer shots outright and fewer shots on goal, and many more fewer attacking opportunities.
Right now, no team appears capable of keeping Japan from lifting the WC trophy. The Japanese put another checkmark in the win column with a multiple goal regulation victory.
