FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup
Ghana U20 – Switzerland U20
Pick: Ghana (-1) EH
Odds: 2.70 @ NordicBet

Final day of group stage fixtures at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. The situation in Group D is still unclear. The top two teams USA and Korea Republic face each other and this match will determine the winner. Ghana also have chances to advance – they need 3 points against Switzeland and hope USA to lose against Korea.
The Africans made an impressive debut appearance in the World Cup as they took a point against defending champions USA. They scored an early goal and managed to hold the lead for almost 70 minutes. In their second game against strong Korea, the Africans twice had the lead before finally gave up to a 4-2 defeat. In both matches Ghana fought enthusiastically and demonstrated very good skill and speed.
Switzerland is the weakest team in the World Cup so far. They suffered two blowing losses (0-4, 0-5) without scoring a single goal and will depart from the tournament after today’s game. Their performance is pretty much similar with that from WC 2006 in Russia when they recorded 3 defeats in the group stage finishing with 2:14 goal difference. Star player Ramona Bachmann is doubtfull as she has been troubled by a back injury.
I think determination and motivation in both teams will be completely different today. Ghana’s hope of reaching the quarter-finals is still alive. They need win by a big margin so they will push from the start. The Swiss are desperate and exhausted after suffering two heavy defeats. Their defense is incredibly fragile and their physical condition is also bad. I doubt they can stand against the Africans for whole 90 minutes. Bookies scarcely offer handicap betting for this event as I managed to find only two good offers. Yet, I strongly recommend the straight Ghana win which is priced at around 1.70~1.80
