Spain Women vs Sweden Women Predictions
- These sides played out a 1-1 draw in a friendly in October.
- Spain have scored 14 goals at the World Cup, Sweden have hit 12.
- Spain have gone three games without a clean sheet.
First final spot up for grabs
Spain and Sweden meet in Auckland on Tuesday in the first of the Women’s World Cup semi-finals.
La Roja are the clear favourites to win this clash but Sweden shouldn’t be underestimated after stunning the USA and taking out Japan.
Both teams to score stands out
Backing both teams to score could be the best way to approach this last four fixture as both of these teams have been in good scoring form.
Spain have hit 14 goals in normal time across five World Cup games and Sweden have managed 12, while both have scored in four of their five fixtures.
The Swedes have managed three clean sheets but Spain have conceded in their last three games, and both of these talented frontlines should be able to make a breakthrough on Tuesday.
Extra-time could be required
Spain may be the favourites but they should hold no fear for this Sweden side, who went into their games against both the Americans and the Japanese as the underdogs.
A 2-2 draw is the correct score prediction as there was little to separate these two sides when they met in a friendly last year – a 1-1 draw – and with both attacks in good form we could be in line for a high-scoring encounter.
Both of these teams already been taken into extra time Down Under, with Spain prevailing in the additional time against the Netherlands and Sweden beating the USA on penalties, and it would be a huge surprise if extra time was required in this last four clash.
Amanda Ilestedt is an outside contender for a goal in this clash as she already has four World Cup goals to her name. The Sweden defender has shown poaching instincts more associated with centre-forwards during the tournament so far and is always a threat from set pieces for the Blagult.
