Italy Betting Preview
Italy is currently the 16th ranked women’s soccer team in the world and there is an expectation that they can have some success in this tournament. This Italy team is a side that has a ton of talent and if they were to lose this game, it would be quite shocking. In the 2022 European Champions, they were quite disappointing, and that puts a lot of pressure on them here. Manuela Giugliano is the star of this squad, and they are going to need her to have a big tournament. Italy played two warm up games heading into the tournament. The offense only scored one goal during the two games, but the defense also didn’t give up a goal. In this game the defense is going to need to step up.
Argentina Betting Preview
Argentina heads into the World Cup ranked 28th in the World and they are pretty big underdogs heading into this game. Argentina secured the final spot in the field, and it took a 3-1 victory over Paraguay to secure their spot. This is an Argentina team that has a lot of offensive power, but their backline has shown some holes, and in this tournament, they are going to need the defense to be good. On July 14th Argentina faced off against Peru and they were able to secure the 4-0 victory. Mariana Larroquette scored in the 17th minute to open the scoring. They had 72 percent of the possession and 11 shots on target.
Shane’s Free Pick
Argentina might not win this game, but worse case scenario is that they secure a draw. Facing off against Italy is a little different than Peru, but they have proven to have a strong offense and they are going to continue the success with the offense scoring here. That offensive success is going to be enough for Argentina to at least secure the draw. Back Argentina +0.5 goals to cash here.
