The U.S. Women’s National Team has advanced into the knockout stage of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

But USWNT didn’t sweep the group stage like fans expected. The No. 1-ranked back-to-back reigning champions were missing a few key players and didn’t look like their normal, dominant selves, leading to a surprising draw against No. 21-ranked Portugal in the final Group E match.

For their first round of 16 game, USWNT faces the No. 3-ranked Sweden. If you’re unfamiliar, the knockout stage is the beginning of single-elimination games, meaning its win or go home. And, if they play like they did against Portugal, USWNT could risk being eliminated for the first time in eight years.

USWNT vs. Sweden Prediction, Odds

USWNT hasn’t been playing at their regular, ultra-dominant level recently — and Sweden is a very tough opponent — but the U.S. side is still the (slight) favorite to win on Sunday. Oddsmakers are showing a -176 moneyline for USWNT against Sweden’s +142 (FanDuel). In other words, it’s likely to be a very close game — and Sweden has a real shot at eliminating the champs.
