Australia Betting Preview

Australia hopes to continue their success in front of the home fans. Australia has won three of the four games in the World Cup with the only loss coming against Nigeria. In the first game of the knockout round they faced off against Denmark and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Australia had 44 percent of the possesion and three shots on target. Caitilin Foord scored in the 29th minute and Hayley Raso scored in the 70th minute. Sam Kerr is the star of this team and there is a chance she could start in this game. She is coming back from a calf injury but it’s expected that she’s going to be able to go in this game. 

France Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is France who have picked up wins in three of the four games so far in the World Cup. The only other game came against Jamaica and that game ended in a draw. In the last game against Morocco, France looked impressive scoring four goals on the way to the victory. Maelle Lakrar missed the last game with an injury and it’s unclear if she’s going to be able to go in this game. It’s unclear though if they will start her or if she’s going to be come off the bench. 

Shane’s Free Pick

It might not be a super popular pick, but I think Australia is going to find success here. They have the home crowd behind them and their defense has really stepped up heading into this game. France is going to really struggle to get any type of offense going here, and that is going to be the difference here as Australia is going to get the job done. Back Australia on the money line to cash.
