• Norway vs Philippines Prediction: Fifa Women’s World Cup Match on 30.07.2023

Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview

New Zealand would have been bitterly disappointed with their performance in their second match in Group A, as they fell to a shock 1-0 loss against the Philippines in Wellington. That loss now threatens to take their chance of progression through to the knockout stage away from them, as they must claim victory against Switzerland on the final day in Group A to book a place in the next round. 

A draw may yet be enough to book a place in the top two, but they will need Norway to hold the Philippines to a draw in the other match in the group. New Zealand made unwanted history in their recent defeat, as they become just the third host nation to lose a group stage match in their home World Cup.

Switzerland will be content with the start to Group A that they have made, and a point will be enough to secure their passage through to the knockout round. The Swiss currently sit top of the standings after picking up four points from their opening two matches in the group stage. 

Progression through to the next round of the competition will see them match their previous best performance at the Women’s World Cup, as they also reached the round of 16 in 2015. The Swiss has also kept clean sheets in back-to-back games at the World Cup for the first time in their history. 

Switzerland vs New Zealand Head to Head

This will be the first meeting between the sides at international level. However, New Zealand has a poor recent record against European opposition, with their win over Norway on matchday one being their only success in four matches.

 

Switzerland vs New Zealand Prediction

Both sides will be keeping one eye on the other match this group, as it will likely determine how this game is approached. However, Switzerland has been professional across their opening two matches, and we could see them getting over the line with a 1-0 win in Dunedin on Sunday.
