Sweden W v Canada W Betting Tips [6 August 2021]

The pairing for the Tokyo 2020 women football final is complete; Sweden will take on Canada after both registered identical 1-0 wins in their semi final matches. Jesie Fleming scored the only goal from the penalty spot as Canada saw off favorites USA while Rolfo Fridolina thumped home the winner for Sweden against Australia. Going by their performances in the earlier stages of this competition, Sweden will be favorites to win gold. They have won all their five matches here, scoring two or more goals in all but one. In the five matches, also, Sweden have kept three clean sheets, showing great composition in defence. Meanwhile, their attack has been very lethal, the team scoring 13 times in five matches. The Swedes have conceded three goals, with three of their matches at the tournament producing over 2.5 goals.

The only area Canada matches Sweden ahead of this game is in defence; they’ve conceded three goals in the tournament so far. While their effort in defence can’t be faulted, especially after keeping clean sheets against USA and Brazil, Canada have been below par in attack. They head to the final, with five goals, and having scored more than a goal in just one of them – the 2-1 win over Chile at the group stage. Their shortcomings in attack aside, Canada have failed to score in just one game – the 0-0 draw with Brazil, a game they went on to win 4-3 on penalties.

Sweden are favorites here clearly, going by their performances especially in attack. They have 13 goals going to this game and though Canada have been good defensively, they will find Sweden tough to handle. Sweden have won all their matches here and will only worry about opening up Canada defensively after Brazil and USA failed in the last two matches. Go for a Sweden win.
