ITALY - ARGENTINA

Very interesting game here, as most probably these two teams will be fighting for the second place, as the first one should be for Sweden and South Africa is one step below all of them.

Italy have improved in recent years, reaching the quarter-finals in the last World Cup and with an experienced squad. They have some interesting players, mainly the ones from Roma who have just had a historic season in which they won the club’s first Serie A league title while also playing in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Six players from Roma can be found in the top 10 for attacking sequence involvements from the 2022-2023 season, and four of those are Italians selected by head coach Milena Bertolini to play in the World Cup: Manuela Giugliani, Valentina Giavinti, Giada Greggi and Annamaria Serturini.

Anyway, must remember that Italy failed to qualify in the group stage of the EURO last summer. There they conceded 7 goals in three games and were able to achieve only a draw against Iceland, losing against Belgium and France (5:1). So the Head Coach Bertolini is now under pressure, as can’t afford another disappointment here.

She also made some controversial decisions, like leaving out of the squad the veteran Sara Gama and adding two youngsters: Giulia Dragoni (16 years old) and Chiara Beccari (18 yo).

On the other hand, Argentina is in pretty good form (same as Italy) and coming to this World Cup with confidence. They have probably the best squad in their history, as they finished third in Copa America and are unbeaten in 2023.

Their key player is Yamila Rodriguez (Palmeiras). She was the top scorer in Copa America with 6 goals , and surely will make a good World Cup too.

Some experts in the country have also mentioned the double pivot in the midfield; Daiana Falfán (Palmeiras) and Lorena Benítez (UAI Urquiza) will likely be key. They also have a good player in Europe - midfielder Florencia Bonsegundo (Madrid).

Italy is favorite because European teams use to be one step above South American ones in women’s football, but we are seeing in this tournament how top teams are struggling to win, as all teams are very competitive and all games are very equal.

Furthermore, I see Argentina underrated here, as they have much more quality as odds says, whilst Italy isn’t a top team either (ranked #16 in FIFA Ranking). With Argentina better than they have previously been, I think they may cause an upset here and achieve some point.

Another note: odds are going down for Argentina in the bookmakers. The double chance opened at 3.20 and now is at 2.30, so bettors are backing Argentina here. It reminds me of China’s game where we correctly bet on the double chance for them and we lost in the last minute undeservedly.

VIKING - AALESUND

Viking are surprisingly having a great season. They are third on the table, with the same points as second Molde (who have two more games played) and 9 below leaders Bodo Glimt (with one more game played). With 5 consecutive victories, are the most in-form team in the league, and the last two have been to nil so their defense has plenty of confidence too.

This team has a lot of different attacking weapons with Zlatko Tripic, Nick D’Agostino and Lars Jorgen Salvesen. They have a pretty strong home record with 5 wins out of 7.

On the other hand, Aalesund is the worst team in the league so far. With only 7 points after 15 fixtures, they are 6 points below safe zone with one more game played. Things are very difficult for them this season, as they have a very weak squad and without confidence. Midfielder Amidou Diop is suspended for this match.

Aalesund have lost all their away games this season, including their last fixture against Lillestrom in the midweek where they were destroyed by 5:1, after receiving an early red card. Their squad is short, so if we add the midweek game plus the fact of playing with 10 players for more than 70 minutes, surely there will be fatigue here. This will be their third game in just 10 days.

They have scored just three goals in their 7 away games so far, but with only 10 in total makes them the worst attack in the Eliteserien.

Viking are clearly the better team and should claim a comfortable and easy victory at home. Guests are lacking quality, motivation, confidence and will have much more fatigue. They won’t be able to hold Viking’s pace and their offensive weapons.

意大利-阿根廷

这是一场非常有趣的比赛，因为这两支球队很可能会争夺第二名，因为第一名应该是瑞典，而南非比他们都低一步。

意大利队近年来有所进步，在上届世界杯上打进了四分之一决赛，并且拥有一支经验丰富的球队。他们有一些有趣的球员，主要是来自罗马的球员，他们刚刚度过了一个历史性的赛季，赢得了俱乐部的第一个意甲联赛冠军，同时还参加了欧洲女子冠军联赛。在2022-2023赛季，有6名来自罗马的球员进入了前十名的进攻序列，其中4名是被主教练贝托里尼选中参加世界杯的意大利人:马努埃拉·朱利安尼、瓦伦蒂娜·贾文蒂、吉亚达·格雷吉和安娜玛利亚·塞尔图里尼。

无论如何，必须记住，意大利未能在去年夏天的欧洲杯小组赛阶段出线。在那里，他们三场比赛丢了7个球，只和冰岛打成平局，输给了比利时和法国(5:1)。所以主教练贝托里尼现在压力很大，他不能再承受一次失望了。

她也做出了一些有争议的决定，比如将老将萨拉·伽马排除在阵容之外，而增加了两名年轻人:朱利亚·德拉戈尼(16岁)和基娅拉·贝卡里(18岁)。

另一方面，阿根廷队的状态很好(和意大利队一样)，他们带着信心来到了本届世界杯。他们可能拥有历史上最好的阵容，因为他们在美洲杯上获得了第三名，并且在2023年保持不败。

他们的关键球员是亚米拉·罗德里格斯(帕尔梅拉斯)。她是美洲杯的最佳射手，有6个进球，肯定也会在世界杯上表现出色。

国内一些专家也提到了中场的双支点;Daiana Falfán (Palmeiras)和Lorena Benítez (UAI Urquiza)可能是关键。他们在欧洲也有一名好球员——中场弗洛伦西亚·本塞贡多(马德里)。

意大利是最受欢迎的球队，因为欧洲球队过去在女子足球比赛中比南美球队领先一步，但我们在这次比赛中看到，顶级球队是如何努力取胜的，因为所有球队都非常有竞争力，所有比赛都非常平等。

此外，我认为阿根廷在这里被低估了，因为他们的实力比赔率高得多，而意大利也不是一支顶级球队(在FIFA排名中排名第16)。随着阿根廷队比以前更好，我认为他们可能会在这里制造混乱并取得一些成绩。

另一个注意事项:博彩公司对阿根廷的赔率正在下降。开盘价是3.20，现在是2.30，所以投注者在这里支持阿根廷。这让我想起了中国队的比赛，我们正确地押注了他们两倍的机会，但我们在最后一分钟不公平地输了。

维京人-阿尔松

维京人这个赛季出奇的好。他们目前在积分榜上排名第三，与排名第二的莫尔德(他们还多打了两场比赛)积分相同，比排名第一的博多·格里姆特(他们还多打了一场比赛)低9分。5连胜，是联盟中状态最好的球队，最近两场比赛都是0胜0负，所以他们的防守也很有信心。

这支球队有很多不同的进攻武器，有兹拉特科·特里皮克、尼克·达戈斯蒂诺和拉尔斯·约根·萨尔维森。他们的主场战绩非常好，7场比赛赢了5场。

另一方面，到目前为止，奥勒松是联赛中最差的球队。15场比赛后，他们只得到7分，再多打一场比赛，他们就离安全地带还有6分的差距。这个赛季对他们来说非常困难，因为他们的阵容很弱，没有信心。中场球员阿米杜·迪奥普将停赛本场比赛。

奥勒松本赛季输掉了所有的客场比赛，包括他们在周中对阵利勒斯特罗姆的最后一场比赛，在那场比赛中他们以5:1的比分被击败，因为他们早早得到了红牌。他们的阵容很短，所以如果我们加上周中的比赛，再加上10名球员打了70多分钟，肯定会感到疲劳。这将是他们在短短10天内的第三场比赛。

迄今为止，他们在7场客场比赛中只进了3球，但总共只有10球，这使他们成为精英队中进攻最糟糕的球队。

维京人显然是更好的球队，应该在主场轻松获胜。客人缺乏品质、动力、信心，会更加疲劳。他们无法控制维京人的速度和进攻性武器。
