Switzerland vs Norway Betting Preview

Norway is the favorite sitting at +115 while Switzerland is the underdog sitting at +270. The total sits at 2.5 goals with the over paying out at +130. 

Switzerland Betting Preview

Switzerland currently sits in 1st place in Group A having picked up three points. In the first game of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Switzerland faced off against the Philippines and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. The first goal was scored on a penalty kick in the 45th minute by Ramona Bachmann. Seraina Severin Piubel also scored a goal in the 64th minute to give them a little insurance. Switzerland had 74 percent of the possession and eight shots on target. There hasn’t been many rumblings about Switzerland making any changes to the lineup for this game. Lia Walti is going to be the captain in this game, and she’s going to need to be key here. 

Norway Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Norway who sits tied in 3rd place having picked up zero points. Last Thursday, Norway faced off against New Zealand and they were defeated 1-0. Norway gave up a goal in the 48th minute and that was the difference as they were defeated. Norway had 51 percent of the possession and two shots on target, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. Vilde Boe Risa came off the bench in the last game and there are rumblings that she might move into the starting lineup in this game. Ada Hegerberg has scored 42 goals in her career for Norway, and she’s going to start up front here. 

Shane’s Free Pick

Norway gave up the one goal in the last game, but I expect they are going to lock down in this game. Switzerland is going to struggle to get any type of offense going against the offense. I do also expect Norway is going to struggle to get any type of offense going against Switzerland and that is going to be the difference as this game is going to stay under the total. Back the under to cash. I am also throwing some money on the 1.5 goals.
