Prediction of Group G
We predict that Sweden and Italy will be front-runners to qualify to the Round of 16 from Group G. Both these two teams have the expertise and finesse to stamp their authority in the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.
Sweden have made it to every single FIFA Women’s World Cup and their best performance so far came in 2003 when they finished as the runners-up.
South Africa are playing their 2nd FIFA World Cup and are the underdogs in Group G. They will have to punch above their weight in order to secure a place in the next round.
With a FIFA ranking of 16, Italy too have a good chance of qualifying to the next round from Group G. The Le Azzurre have made it to two quarter-finals so far and those qualifications came in 1991 and 2019.
They had lost to Netherlands 0-2 in the quarter finals which took place in 2019 at the Stade de Hainaut in Valenciennes, France.
Powerhouses of world football, Argentina too will be willing to prove to everyone that they are a force to reckon with in women’s football.
