Spain Women News and Form
It hasn’t been bad stuff from Spain at this tournament really. They picked up a 3-1 win to start their campaign and that was over South Africa. They were then all over Germany in their second fixture but then ended up losing 1-0 on the day somehow. In their final group stage game, they just had to avoid defeat against China to secure second place. They played out a cagey 0-0 draw which suited them both as China qualified too. However, Spain get the one game in the knockouts that no-one wanted. That is, taking on defending champions USA. Spain are W1 D3 L1 in their last five games.
While Spain do play some nice stuff they have been struggling for goals. They haven’t hit the back of the net in three of their last five games. So the problem for them is finding that cut and thrust in the final third of the pitch. If it happens it is most likely to come from a piece of magic from their star player Jen Hermoso. But they have to keep things tight at the back somehow against this powerful USA team. Spain are only W1 D2 L3 in their last six Women’s World Cup matches.
Key-Facts – Spain Women v USA Women
- Spain have won just one of their last six World Cup games
- The USA have won 19 of their last 22 games
- The USA have scored 13 unanswered goals so far
USA Women News and Form
What a tournament it has been for the Americans. They had that 13-0 opening win. They followed up with a 3-0 win over Chile which should have been more if were not for a stunning performance from Chilean keeper Christiane Endler. They then rounded off the group with a 2-0 win over Sweden and really they were so much on top, the fact that their second goal was so controversial didn’t really matter in the end. The USA just look untouchable at the moment. Although they haven’t faced particularly strong opposition, other than Sweden, the USA just appear to be so much fitter and quicker than any other team at the tournament. They are physically dominant with supreme fitness levels. They play such a quick game that it is hard for their opponents to keep up.
So that’s 18 unanswered goals from the USA at the World Cup. They have not conceded in any of their last seven played. They have netted at least two goals in each of their eight. Looking back at their longer form, the USA are W19 D2 L1 in their last twenty-two games. In total it is a twelve match undefeated streak of form that the reigning World Champions are on. They are going to score goals, that is the crux of it. If it’s not Carli Lloyd, it’s Alex Morgan and if it’s not Alex Morgan it’s Lindsey Horan at the moment. Morgan is the 6/5 outright favourite in the anytime goalscorer market. The USA are on an eight-match winning streak in World Cup games (conceding in just one).

USA to win: The USA looks to be head and shoulders over everyone at the tournament and a USA to win to nil bet looks a solid option here. The Americans are just so quick and technically good that Spain are not going to keep up with them.
