The 2023 women’s World Cup group stage carries on, featuring Group A action where Switzerland are in the lead with four points, and co-hosts New Zealand are right behind with three points. Basically, this is an important game that could determine which teams move onto the next round.

Switzerland: +110
Draw: +200
New Zealand: +280
Moneyline pick: Switzerland +110
Admittedly, the fact that New Zealand are playing for advancement in front of their home crowd makes this pick a little complicated. However, I’m still going with Switzerland to win.
The Swiss picked up a 2-0 victory over the Philippines in their first match of this tournament. Then they managed to grind out a 0-0 draw against a Norway team that was originally favored to win Group A by a healthy margin. Now, Switzerland are in the driver’s seat and Norway sit in last place.
The Swiss have not allowed a goal in two World Cup games, and that defense will likely be the difference against a New Zealand squad that has lacked a finishing touch across 180 minutes of play. I’m taking Switzerland to win a low-scoring contest.
