The Scout: Women’s World Cup Matchday 17

Posted on | Posted by The Scout

Round of 16 (2)

Netherlands v South Africa

The Netherlands are firm favourites to secure a spot in the last eight. They topped their group and were ruthless when beating Vietnam 7-0. Jill Roord makes the team tick in midfield and will again be key to their success. Striker Lineth Beerensteyn has missed the last two games with an injury but could feature off the bench in this one.

South Africa have done superbly to make the knockouts having finished bottom of the group with no points in the 2019 edition. Off field issues hampered their preparations but spirits are up following an injury time winning goal to beat Italy last time out. Kholosa Biyana returns from suspension, but Refiloe Jane is likely to miss out through injury.

Netherlands to win @ $1.06*

Sweden v USA

Sweden coach Peter Gerhardsson had the luxury of resting nine of his regular starters against Argentina. They still won the game and look ready for a trophy push. Barcelona’s Fridolina Rolfo is one to watch in attack, while defender Amanda Ilestedt has three goals to her name already.

The USA were the width of a post from going home and the total of five points was their lowest ever in a World Cup group stage. Rose Lavelle is suspended having picked up two yellow cards, with Savannah Demelo an option to replace her. Kelley O’Hara will need to have a big game if the reigning champions are to progress.

Sweden to win @ $3.45*
