Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview

Sweden have been strong at the Women’s World Cup already this year, and they could be among the nations that have gone under the radar. They have booked their spot in the round of 16 with a game to spare, and their place at the top of the standings looks secure as they boast a healthy goal difference. Sweden was excellent against Italy on matchday two, as they landed a huge 5-0 win in Wellington. 

Sweden historically has an excellent record on matchday three at the World Cup, as they have won six of their previous nine. However, it may be a slight concern that they haven’t won on matchday three in each of the previous two editions.

The greater pressure on matchday three will be on Argentina, as they must claim victory to stand any chance of progression. The South American nation currently sits at the bottom of the standings after failing to win in their opening two matches. They were denied maximum points on matchday two after playing out a 2-2 draw against South Africa in Dunedin. 

Argentina are now winless in their last eleven matches at the Women’s World Cup, which is a record winless streak for nations at the competition. Over that period, they have suffered eight defeats. However, the draw that they picked up against South Africa on matchday two means that they are now looking to go two matches without defeat for the first time in their World Cup history. 

Argentina vs Sweden Head to Head

This will be the first meeting between Argentina and Sweden at the Women’s World Cup. However, the Swedes have an excellent record against South American nations, as they have won four of their previous five. That includes victories in each of their last three. 

Argentina vs Sweden Prediction

Sweden have looked extremely strong throughout their run in the World Cup to this point. Therefore, we are fully expecting them to secure their spot at the top of the group standings with a straightforward win over Argentina.
