2023 Women’s World Cup 101

The action kicks off with the group stage. There are eight groups in total, with four teams in each. Each team will play its group counterparts once with the top two teams from each group advancing to the round of 16.

The playoffs kick off with the round of 16. We’re looking at a single-elimination bracket here with just one match deciding the winner. If there’s no winner after the regular 90 minutes, we’re in for extra time and potentially even penalties.

The 2023 Women’s World Cup will be hosted in 10 mesmerizing venues across 9 cities in Australia and New Zealand. The grand final will take place on August 20th at the Sydney Olympic Stadium.

Team USA is coming into this one as the dominant favorites and current title-holders. In fact, the Americans have won the two most recent Women’s World Championships.

2023 Women’s World Cup Outright Winner Predictions

Obviously, since all top sportsbooks feature bets for this event, it’s only logical to see the demand at an all-time high. Sports betting enthusiasts usually aren’t that interested in the Women’s World Cup. However, the 2023 iteration is nicely poised with four potent contenders who’ll be eyeing the title next month.

In the next couple of sections, we’ll go through the top four contenders and see how they square off in what’s bound to be a brilliant event. But, before we dive deeper into the details, here’s a closer look at the most recent Women’s World Cup winners:

USA

Obviously, the USA is the heavy favorite coming into the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Team USA has won two consecutive titles and are looking like the most dominant team ahead of next month’s kickoff.

They are in group E with Netherlands, Vietnam, and Portugal. It’s a relatively straightforward group, though the USA won’t have an easy job taking all 9 points. That’s primarily because of the Orange Lionesses who played against the USA in the finals last time out. They’re bound to cause trouble and could jeopardize USA’s route to a perfect record in the group stage.

As for the roster, there’s nothing much to be said. The USA has strong individuals in every position and has won all 7 of their matches thus far in 2023. In those 7 matches, they scored 17 goals in total, which tells you all you need to know about their form. When talking about in-form players, Alex Morgan and Mallory Swanson are the main attacking threats. Believe it or not, Swanson has scored in the last 5 matches for the USA Women’s National Team.

The USA’s to win the 2023 Women’s World Cup sit at +225.

England

Team USA is the best team in the world, there’s no point denying that. But, when talking about the main title challengers, England belongs at the top of the list. They’ve been absolutely brilliant lately, have a deep roster, and an experienced coach in Sarina Wiegman. But, they’re coming off a disheartening loss to Australia in April, which showcased some of their biggest issues.

However, according to the bookies, England are still the second-favorites with odds hovering from +290 to +315. Fun fact, the last time they played against Team USA, England won 2-1. That was an international friendly in early October last year, but it goes to show you the Three Lionesses can hang with the Americans.

England are listed at +300 to bring it home this year.

Spain

Spain is not to be taken for granted either. Their 2022 EURO went well. Spain managed to reach the quarterfinals but ended up losing to England 2-1 after extra time. Spain played well throughout the match, but England had the upper edge in the end, driven by the home crowd at the Falmer Stadium in Brighton.

Coming into the 2023 WWC, Spain has a superb mixture of youth talent and experience in its lineup. Perhaps their recent friendlies didn’t portray their full strength. Veterans like Alexia Putellas (100 caps) and Jennifer Hermoso are bound to be valuable members on and off the pitch. They’re certainly the type of players you’d want to influence youngsters such as Inmaculada Gabarro and Salma Paralluelo, one of Spain’s brightest talents.

Spain check in at +600 to win the Women’s World Cup for the first time ever.

Germany

Last but not least, Germany. They are in group H with Morocco, Columbia, and South Korea. It’s a well-rounded group, but one that shouldn’t cause too many issues for the German national team. Remember, these girls went on to reach the grand finals of the 2022 EURO. They ended up a goal short of the title, losing 2:1 to England after extra time. It was a tight fixture that nicely depicted many of Germany’s strengths.

In my opinion, Germany has much more depth and seems to be better title contender than Spain. They even managed to beat the United States back in November, though Team USA got their revenge just three days later. Both matches finished 2-1, with each team taking one win.

The Germans come in at +800 to shock the world and win it this summer.
