Sweden has just two points so far this World Cup, sitting behind both the United States and Australia. Needless to say, the winner of this matchup will be finishing in the top two for the group and advancing to the knockout stages. The real question is whether the loser makes it as well.
A draw would certainly be nice for Australia, a team that beat Nigeria 2-0 but lost by a couple of goals to the Americans. Sweden drew 3-3 with Nigeria to open the World Cup and obviously cannot be happy about that. A victory would be very nice for the Swedes, giving them five points.
The United States plays Nigeria tonight and are comfortably favored to win and advance. The Americans can take no worse than third in the group, if they were to lose tonight while Australia or Sweden could win. Backing Sweden in this match, as the fifth-ranked team in the world, seems to have some value.

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.
