A Tussle of Titans for the World Cup Final Berth
Key Stats
– Spain’s possession dominance stands at 72.8% against Sweden’s 53.4%.
– Both teams have an impeccable penalty conversion rate, with neither missing from the spot.
In what promises to be a nail-biting encounter, Spain Women and Sweden Women are set to lock horns at Eden Park this Tuesday, with a coveted place in the Women’s World Cup 2023 final at stake.
Spain, under Jorge Vilda’s stewardship, scripted history by vanquishing the Dutch in a match stretching over 120 thrilling minutes. This victory came on the back of Spain’s impressive 5-1 win over Switzerland, marking their maiden entry into the World Cup quarter-finals. Their encounter against the Netherlands was nothing short of a rollercoaster, with Stefanie Van der Gragt levelling scores at the death, only for the relentless Spaniards to snatch victory in extra-time, thanks to a goal from rising star Salma Paralluelo. This semi-final outing is Spain’s most significant since their 1997 European Championship escapade. With a whopping 15 goals in the tournament, Spain’s firepower is evident.

Sweden, having ousted defending champions USA, met Japan in the quarters. Japan’s stellar form, boasting a 14-1 scoreline from four opening matches, posed a stern test. However, Sweden’s indomitable spirit saw them take charge, with Amanda Ilestedt and Filippa Angeldahl adding to the scoresheet. The Swedes had a small hiccup when Japan scored one, but they held their nerve to emerge victorious. Historically, Sweden’s semi-final journey has had more troughs than crests. But they’d be looking back at their 2003 win against Canada for inspiration.
Form Guide and Team News
Spain’s recent World Cup form reads: W-W-L-W-W. Meanwhile, Sweden’s form appears even more daunting: W-W-W-W-W.
In the Spanish camp, Laia Codina’s fitness remains a concern after she limped off against the Netherlands. However, the midfield dynamo Aitana Bonmati is expected to shrug off a minor injury to take her place. Salma Paralluelo, the young prodigy, is also tipped to return to the starting XI.
Sweden’s coach, Peter Gerhardsson, might favour consistency by retaining his starting lineup. The defensive wall of Amanda Ilestedt and Magdalena Eriksson is set to feature, with the prolific Stina Blackstenius leading the attack.

Predictions
- Both Teams to Score (BTTS): Given both teams’ impressive goal tally – Spain (14) and Sweden (12), a BTTS seems highly probable. Spain, despite their scoring prowess, haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last three games. With both teams consistently finding the back of the net, this prediction holds weight.

- Goalscorer Prediction: Jennifer Hermoso: With 3 goals under her belt and a formidable expert rating, Hermoso seems poised to make a significant impact.
