There will be immediate pressure on Norway to bounce back after an opening night defeat in Group A. However, Switzerland could secure a memorable passage through to the knockout round in Hamilton if they are able to record a second straight win at the Women’s World Cup.
It has been an excellent start to the Women’s World Cup for Switzerland, as they currently lead the way in the Group A standings. The Swiss made no mistake in their first match at the competition, as they recorded a straightforward success over the Philippines. The deadlock was broken from the penalty spot in the 45th minute by Ramona Bachmann, before the points were secured just after the hour mark following Seraina Piubel’s effort.
Switzerland will be looking to make history at the World Cup on Tuesday, as they have never previously won more than one match at a single edition of the competition. In fact, they won just once in their four appearances at the 2015 competition. Their win over the Philippines also saw them record a first World Cup clean sheet.
Meanwhile, there will be immediate pressure on Norway on Tuesday, as they look to bounce back from a disappointing first outing at the competition. The European nation were unable to find a way through against New Zealand, and were eventually beaten 1-0 despite being heavily favoured to record maximum points.
The defeat in the opening round of matches means that Norway have now lost back-to-back games at the World Cup for the first time. They have never suffered three straight defeats at the competition, and they have lost twice at a single edition of the competition for the first time since 2011.
This will be a first meeting between the two nations at the World Cup. Norway has gone five without a win against teams from Europe at the competition, losing four times over that period. Meanwhile, this will be the first time that the Swiss has come up against European opposition at the tournament.
Norway was extremely disappointing in their opening match, especially given the quality that the nation boasts across the field. However, we expect them to get back on track on matchday two, and we see them registering a 2-0 win over Switzerland in Hamilton.
