Italy W vs Brazil W Prediction & Betting tips
In the final round in group C, Italy and Brazil cross the line. Italy is already assured of a place in the next round, but Brazil still needs at least one point to be able to also enter the eighth finals.
Italy:
The Italian ladies are one of the big surprises of this World Cup. Not only does the country finally make its appearance at the World Cup after an absence of no less than twenty years, but thanks to victories in Australia (1-2) and Jamaica (0-5) the Azzurre are already assured of a place in the eighth finals. “This is fantastic,” said attacker Cristiana Girelli, who was good for a hat trick against Jamaica. “We are not only here to win, but we also want a role model for all the young girls in Italy who want to experience this one day.”
As Italy is already through, there is a chance that national coach Milena Bertoli will rotate a bit on Tuesday evening. Italy, however, needs one more point to ensure that group profits are definitively secured in order to avoid the group E (Netherlands or Canada) winner. The Italian ladies are bursting with self-confidence and with Barbara Bonansea, Girelli, Aurora Galli and Sara Gama they have various players who can make a difference. The United States and France are naturally the top favorites for winning this World Cup, but we must certainly not flatten out Italy.
Brazil:
A lot is at stake for Brazil on Tuesday evening. The South American ladies started the tournament well with a 3-0 win over Jamaica, but allowed themselves to eat the cheese of the bread with a 2-1 defeat in the second group match against Australia. Australia faces Jamaica in its last group match, so the second place in group C is likely to be a difficult story. However, if Brazil manages to score a point in its last group match, it is still one of the best numbers three to be guaranteed a place in the next round. Even a small defeat does not necessarily have disastrous consequences, although the country does depend on the results in the other groups. Click here for the intermediate ranking of all numbers three.
Brazil therefore knows what to do on Tuesday evening. The Brazilian ladies are better on paper than those from Italy, but this tournament is not very noticeable. The country was not put to the test against Jamaica, but against Australia the yellow shirts were in trouble again and again, especially with high passes from the flanks. In addition, it is questionable whether national coach Vadao can dispose of star player Marta, who is struggling with injuries during the entire tournament.
