The Scout: Women’s World Cup Matchday 16 Posted on August 5, 2023August 5, 2023 | Posted by The Scout Round of 16 (1) Switzerland v Spain An unbeaten group stage will give Switzerland confidence heading into a last 16 encounter with one of the World Cup favourites. They have yet to concede a goal and could name an unchanged team, meaning Noelle Maritz and Julia Stierli again lead the defence. Barcelona’s Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic will be keen to score her first of the tournament. Having cruised in their first two fixtures, Spain were on the receiving end of a 4-0 thumping by Japan and doubts have crept in about their credentials. Alexia Putellas’ fitness looks good so she will continue in midfield, while the frontline is likely to consist of Jenni Hermoso, Salma Paralluelo, and Mariona Caldentey. Spain to win @ $1.32* Japan v Norway Japan topped their group following a stunning win over fancied Spain last time out. Ruthless counterattacking football and neat finishing were the order of the day as Hinata Miyazawa impressed again. Yui Hasegawa and Mina Tanaka are expected to come back into the starting line-up. Star striker Ada Hegerberg is in contention to play for Norway having missed the last two games and would add more firepower to a team that scored six without reply last time out. Sophia Roman Haug bagged a hat-trick in that win over Philippines and is in form, while the defence is chasing a third successive clean sheet. Japan to win @ $1.79* Multi Japan – Win Japan v Norway – Both Teams to Score – Yes Spain – Win @ $6.27* *Odds correct as at 9am, 5th August 2023. Market Market
