Here’s everything you need to know for the match, along with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Sweden v. South Africa

Date: Sunday, July 23
Time: 1 a.m. ET

Live stream: Foxsports.com, Fox Sports App, Peacock

Odds, picks & predictions

Sweden: -1200
Draw: +1000
South Africa: +2800

Moneyline pick: Sweden -1200

This should be a fairly one-sided contest, especially if you take World Cup track records into account. Sweden have been regular contenders at global tournaments, shining in World Cups and Olympics. South Africa became debutants at the World Cup in 2019 and got blasted in all three group games.

There have been some upsets already at this tournament and the gap between teams has been closer than expected but Sweden should cruise here. You can get additional value taking Sweden -1.5 (-340) or Sweden -2.5 (-110), but there’s more risk. Sweden should have no trouble grabbing all three points in this one.
