The anticipation is building as we edge closer to the first fixtures from Group F, where yet another debutant will take to the FIFA World Cup group stage for the first time alongside the vastly experienced France, the South African flair of Brazil, coupled with Caribbean standouts Jamaica. According to the FIFA rankings, there shouldn’t be any debate on who goes through and who doesn’t, with France and Brazil well within the top 10 whilst Jamaica and Panama rank between the 40-50 region, but in football, and these bitches you never know.
Let’s take a look at the national teams in Group F and see what are their chances of progressing to the knockout stage. Make sure to check the LV BET Sports Blog for more information about the Women’s FIFA World Cup to uncover the top betting tips.
Who exactly are the participants of Group F?
FRANCE
France showed their class in the qualification round as they ran riot, winning all of their games – scoring a total of 54 goals and only conceding on four occasions. The squad was disappointed that they could not progress further in the 2019 FIFA World Cup as it was on their home soil, but the only point that might make them feel better is that the USA knocked them out, who were the eventual tournament winner.
Going out of the group should not be a big ask for such a team, especially with the high-quality players that they have at their disposal. We are pricing France to make it in the semi-final is valued at 2.65.
JAMAICA
Jamaica booked their place after coming in third place in the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship. This will be the second appearance for the squad after losing all three games and seeing them finish last in their group. Hopefully they will fair a bit better but the odds are stacked against them. This time they need to finish in the the top two instead of the top three as they had to do in the 2019 edition.
Form this year has not been the best, losing all three Cup of Nations games against Spain, Czech Republic and Australia. The only win has come against Sheffield United in a non-FIFA friendly match. We are pricing a semi-final appearance at 47.00.
BRAZIL
As Canarinhas have enjoyed a successful 2022, winning the Copa Americana, but this year when they faced England in the Finalissima they lost on penalties. It goes to show that they are capable to reach the same level as the England team, and they had all this hype around them.
The Swedish head coach Pia Sundhage will be eager to make a statement after her predecessor Vadao failed to capture the abilities of the Brazil National squad amidst huge controversy after the sacking of Emily Lima.
We are pricing Brazil to win the tournament at 26.00, they do have a great chance of winning their respective group.
PANAMA
Making it’s first appearance in a FIFA World Cup group stage is Panama, who will have a baptism of fire after landing both Brazil and France in their first-ever group stage. The road to the World Cup was a tough one after narrowly winning against Paraguay in the inter-confederation play-offs.
Taking a look at the squad, one can easily point out that no player has more than 20 caps, which begs the question, are they experienced at all at this level? This might come as a positive as they approach the tournament with great energy and enthusiasm that might take their opponents by surprise. The striker line-up is comprised of Karla Riley, who featured for her national team on 10 occasions, scoring four whilst her partner Lineth Cedeno, a 22-year-old free agent that scored eight goals in 14 appearances.
