Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview

This promises to be an exciting clash in the round of 16 this weekend. Sweden have been faultless throughout their campaign to this stage, as they have won three from three. The Swedes were slightly nervy in their opening match, but they have looked very strong in each of their last two matches, registering a 5-0 win over Italy before landing a 2-0 success over Argentina in their final Group G match. 

Sweden topped the group with nine points, and they scored nine goals and conceded just once. They are one of the most consistent nations in the World Cup, as the Swedes have finished third in two of the previous three editions. However, they are yet to reach a final since losing in the 2003 showpiece.

There will be pressure on the United States in the round of 16, as they haven’t looked as strong as they have when winning the previous two editions of the competition. In fact, they are extremely lucky to still be in the tournament, as Portugal nearly eliminated the reigning champions after they hit the post in the closing stages of the final match in Group E. 

America avoided a scare, but their second place finish in the standings mean that they will have a huge challenge on their hands to retain the World Cup. The United States have struggled in their previous two matches against European nations, which includes a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands on matchday two. 

Sweden vs United States Head to Head

This will be the seventh meeting between the United States and Sweden. The Swedes have won just once in the previous encounters, with America landing four wins. The previous encounter between the sides saw USA land a 2-0 win in the group stage of the 2019 World Cup. 

Sweden vs United States Prediction

The United States have looked nervy throughout their World Cup campaign to this point. Therefore, we will take a chance on Sweden doing something that no side has managed since the 2011 World Cup and beat the USA.
