Match preview
When Sweden Women and Italy Women face off on Saturday at the Sky Stadium, the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will continue.
With a comeback victory over South Africa in their opening match, the Swedes got their tournament off to a winning start. The African champions took the lead in the 48th minute thanks to Hildah Magaia, and Fridolina Rolfo tied the score in the 65th. For the Blue and Yellow, Amanda Ilestedt’s last-second goal gave them the victory.
Italy, meanwhile, waited until the very end to beat Argentina by as many points as possible. Cristiana Girelli, a substitute, leapt high to score with her head in the 87th minute to give her country the victory.
Le Azzurre moved up to second place in Group G with three points after the victory. Sweden is in first place in the standings.
One of the teams in women’s soccer with the most consistency is Sweden. They’ll be trying to duplicate or top their semifinal run from four years ago in France.
Italy advanced to the round of eight in 2019 and is currently on track to go to the knockout stages after winning their first game last week. A victory here would almost certainly secure their place in the round of 16.
Italy has lost against Sweden more often than any other team in head-to-head competition, by a margin of two victories to one. We predict a tight victory for the Swedes that includes goals at both ends.
