Chile vs SwedenWorld Cup debutants Chile take on former runner’s up Sweden in the opening match in Group F at this year’s tournament in France, with the European side undoubtedly being the favourites to come away with all three points.

Chile vs Sweden Match Preview

Group F rivals Chile and Sweden are set to go head-to-head at this summer’s Women’s World Cup, with the duo both looking to get their campaigns off to a winning start. The Scandinavian side certainly have the history and talent behind them, however Chile will be hoping that their hard-working nature and flair can help them pull off one of the biggest World Cup shocks in recent time. A significant number of bets are expected to be placed on the match, so let’s take a closer look at the two teams, including their player availability and recent form, starting with Chile.

Chile Team News & Form

Having qualified for their first ever World Cup Finals after finishing as runner’s up in the 2018 Copa América Femenina to Brazil, Chile will certainly be making their way to France in an attempt to not simply make up the numbers. However, Chile are now without a win in their last eight matches coming into the tournament, having lost to the likes of the Netherlands and Jamaica over recent months. Head Coach José Letelier undoubtedly faces a big task in ensuring that his side are competitive in France over the coming weeks, with the likes of Valencia striker Yanara Aedo and Francisca Lara being their standout players.

The South American’s face Germany in their final warm-up encounter, however this is unlikely to provide the confidence boost in which they require ahead of the World Cup. They did hold Colombia to a draw before travelling to Europe.

Sweden Team News & Form

Sweden has once again reached the World Cup Finals, after making it through to the Round of 16 in Canada four years ago. The 2003 runners-up may not quite be the force in which they once were, however they still have more than enough quality to qualify from Group F. Head Coach Peter Gerhardsson has selected a mixture of youth and experience for their upcoming campaign, with Montpellier strikers Stina Blackstenius and Sofia Jakobsson likely to lead the line for the Blue and Yellows in France. Elsewhere, Chelsea defender Magdalena Eriksson is likely to feature alongside club and country teammate Jonna Andersson.

The Swedes ended a run of three straight defeats by beating Austria 2-0 in their penultimate pre-tournament warm-up encounter, having lost to Germany, Canada and Portugal at the 2019 Algarve Cup. An opening win over Chile would go a long way to ensuring that Sweden once again make it through to the World Cup knockout phase.

Chile vs Sweden Head to Head

The two teams have never previously met in either a competitive or friendly fixture, meaning that no conclusions can be made when it comes to the head-to-head record between Chile and Sweden. As a result, factors such as form and player availability will have a bigger impact upon the eventual result.
