Switzerland vs New Zealand Expectations
- We expect to see Football Ferns fail to score, as Switzerland didn’t concede a single goal in the tournament so far.
- Furthermore, Switzerland should earn a draw against New Zealand.
- The match will be somewhat of a snooze fest as neither side took part in a particularly goal-efficient game.

Switzerland odds: 21/20 (2.05) – 48.0%
Draw odds: 23/10 (3.30) – 29.0%
New Zealand odds: 13/5 (3.60) – 23.0%
As you see from the Switzerland vs New Zealand odds above, even with the home-field support behind them, Football Ferns are the underdog in their last World Cup group-stage game on the 30th of July. New Zealand have barely a 23.0% win probability ahead of this match, while Switzerland are the bookmakers’ expected winners with a convincing 48.0% win probability. We expect to see under 2.5 goals at Forsyth Bar Stadium. The likelihood of that is valued at 53.19%, but we believe those odds should be considerably more convincing, as you saw from the two teams’ last couple of games.
Switzerland vs New Zealand Lineups & Team News
Switzerland
We believe Switzerland have a place in the round of 16. After all, the team didn’t concede a single goal thus far in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand. With two consecutive clean sheets, the European side will probably give New Zealand a run for their money on Sunday, and will safely advance to the next stage of the tournament.
Predicted lineup – Thalmann (GK), Aigbogun, Maritz, Stireli, Riessen, Walti, Sow, Reuteler, Piubel, Bachman & Crnogorcevic
New Zealand
Fortuna swiftly took hers, as New Zealand lost 0-1 in their Philippines game last week. This was only right, as New Zealand didn’t quite deserve to defeat favorites Norway at the start of the campaign. We believe Football Ferns will perform their hearts out against Switzerland, as their second place is far from locked.
Predicted lineup – Esson (GK), Bott, Stott, Bowen, A. Riley, I. Riley, Steinmetz, Percival, Hassett, Wilkinson & Hand
Player to Watch: Gaelle Thalmann
37-year-old Swiss veteran Thalmann is having one hell of a World Cup season. The Switzerland goalkeeper-in-chief’s catlike reflexes denied Norway of a goal in the previous match.
Norway were desperately hammering away and trying to penetrate Thalmann’s defiance. However, after six crucial saves were made, Thalmann deserved the Player of the Match award at the end of the game. We expect to see more of the same from Gaelle versus Football Ferns, as Switzerland aren’t locked for the round of 16 either.
