Nigeria earned one point in the group play earlier this tournament, drawing with Sweden, the fifth-ranked team in the world. While the end result was surprising, Sweden giving up three goals was even more baffling. The Swedes are still expected to make it out of the group stage, but a win here for Nigeria certainly puts them in a bad spot.
Australia needs to win to have any shot at the knockout round. They lost a 3-1 game to the United States to open up the tournament, Megan Rapinoe scored twice for the Americans in that contest.
The odds for this one are tight and limited because of the slim margin of error for both teams. Nigeria currently has three points, which is great, but a loss here would certainly be detrimental to their overall success in the group. Australia loses and they are all but eliminated.
This should be a nice one to watch.

Betting and Winning in the WNBA
According to pro handicapper Steve Fezzik, you don't even need to watch WNBA games to successfully bet the sport. He tells fellow handicapper Teddy Covers that the sportsbooks simply don't spend enough time setting good lines on the sport, so just following injury reports, like the one with top player Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury, will tell you what you need to know. Yes, the betting limits for WNBA are low, but the bright side to that is the wise guys leave WNBA alone, giving smaller stakes bettors more opportunities to succeed.
