Norway W meets Australia W in the World Cup Women 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Saturday, June 22nd at Allianz Riviera (Nice)
The Norwegians do not inspire me with their performance to bet on their victory. Yes, Nigeria seemed to be confidently beaten in the 1st round (3-0). But there an own goal just killed the belief of the Africans in themselves. And the Norwegians won the first half with a 3-0 score and just slowed down the game before the whistle in the second one. In the 2nd round, Norway lost to France naturally. And the only goal of Norway in that match was an own goal of the French. South Korea was beaten in the last round. But both goals were scored from the penalty spot. So, it turns out that Scandinavians scored only 4 out of all their 6 goals by their own, and only two of them were field ones.

As for Australia, the team only gains momentum in the course of the championship. After losing in the 1st round to the Italians, the Australians beat a very strong Brazilian national team and then coped with Jamaica in the training mode (4-1).
The Australian team looks more agile compared to its upcoming rivals. More aggressive in the attack. And stronger physically. Norway got tired by the end of each second half in 2 of their last matches. In the game against Italy 2, it conceded the second goal in the 90th minute, in the game with South Korea – in the 79th. Australia, on the contrary, scored Brazil in the 66th minute, Jamaica – in the 83rd. And the Australians know how to play against the Scandinavians. These rivals met 3 times. Australia gained 2 victories (the last was a year and a half ago) and a draw. Surely, this time Australia will at least not lose in the regulation time.
Prediction for the match: Australia W to win with +0.5 handicap
