Betting Preview for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Group C

Group C of the Women’s World Cup is one of the easiest groups to predict. While Spain is a clear favorite, the race for second place is wide open and will be fiercely contested by the other three teams: Costa Rica, Japan, and Zambia.

The Ticas qualified for their second World Cup with the encouragement and the weight of history behind them. What’s more, they are the only UNCAF team that has been able to earn a ticket to the Women’s World Cup. The team coached by Amelia Valverde finished in second place in the Women’s Pre-World Cup 2022/23 with two wins in three games.

Despite their good results, luck has not been on their side recently, since they now register eight consecutive days without a win. It is expected that in their debut and generally in Group C, they can perform well, as in their last participation in Canada 2015, they did not advance beyond the first round.

Japan is gearing up for this new Women’s World Cup with the same reputation of any team that has ever reached the top. Under the guidance of Asako Takakura, Japan is gunning for their second World Cup title and boasts several outstanding players who inspire hope in their compatriots.

This team has won two of their last three games, triumphing over heavyweight teams such as Portugal and Canada. While their matchup with Spain poses a challenge, it seems that they will have no problem dispatching the other teams in the group.

World Cup winning odds: +650

Spain is the clear favorite to advance from Group C in the Women’s World Cup. Jorge Vilda’s side finished first in their UEFA qualifying group after playing against Scotland, Ukraine, Hungary, and the Faroe Islands. They won all eight of their matches, arriving in New Zealand and Australia with an undefeated streak.

This European team boasts a plethora of talented players, but all eyes are on Alexia Putellas, the midfielder who plays for Barcelona. Putellas has earned 100 caps for the national team and won the Ballon d’Or twice.

Spain’s participation in Group C of the Women’s World Cup could be a real threat to their opponents given their impressive form. While their best performance in the World Cup so far was reaching the round of 16, they are definitely aiming to go even further this time around.

Zambia

FIFA Ranking Position: 77

How did Zambia qualify for the World Cup: 3rd place at the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations?

Previous World Cup participations: 0

Quota to win the World Cup: +50000

We have a debutant in the house! Zambia has qualified for their first Women’s World Cup, following a historic performance in the African Women’s Cup of Nations, where they finished third. This achievement is the result of a long-term process that began several years ago, when they qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

While Zambia is one of the less experienced teams in the group, they will certainly put up a fight. However, it won’t be an easy task given their previous results against teams like South Korea and Slovenia. The level of competition will be crucial in determining the progression of the African team.

El Jefe’s Prediction on Women’s World Cup 2023 Group C

Considering the previous performance, it is very likely that Spain will take the first place. Its world-class stars and its impeccable qualifying campaign make it a favorite to win it all. Secondly, we believe it will be Japan who will advance as runner ups. Although all teams had an outstanding qualifying phase, the rosters of Spain and Japan are much stronger.

Based on previous experience in competitions of this nature, the possibility of Costa Rica advancing is latent. Fortunately, this is soccer and in Group C of the 2023 Women’s World Cup anything can happen.

Group winner: Spain

Runner-up: Japan
