Stats for the Weekend...
The Women’s World Cup enters the Knockout Phase this weekend – and the Scorer stats catch the eye...
Norway v Australia
Women’s World Cup
Knockout – Last 16
Sat, 8pm – BBC Two
Match odds: Norway 9/4 (3.25), Draw 13/5 (3.60), Australia 11/10 (2.10)
To Qualify odds: Norway 13/10 (2.30), Australia 8/13 (1.62)
Australia are the slight favourites here. If the Group stage results are anything to go by then we can expect goals in this game...
Australia 1 Italy 2
Australia 3 Brazil 2
Australia 4 Jamaica 1
Norway 3 Nigeria 0
Norway 1 France 2
Norway 2 South Korea 1
There were 7 goals last time these two met, with Australia beating Norway 4-3 last year.
The bookies makes Over 2.5 Goals around 7/10 (1.70), with Both Teams to Score 8/13 (1.62) at best.
The Anytime Scorer market gives us a better return with odds-against prices widely available for Aussie striker Samantha Kerr, who is currently the tournament joint-top scorer with 5 goals from 3 games...
Kerr got all 4 goals against Jamaica last time out, and also found the net with the First Goal against Italy.
Kerr takes Penalties for ‘the Matildas’ too, so that’s a bonus when backing a Scorer. (Sam had her penalty kick saved in the opener against Italy, but reacted first to score the rebound.)
Backing Kerr in the Anytime Scorer market has paid out 6 times in her last 10 appearances for Australia – and she’s netted a total of 10 goals across those 10 games.
Five of those 6 scoring appearances also saw Kerr land First Scorer payouts. She’s 4/1 at best to score first on Saturday evening (Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook), 7/2 (4.50) in general.
The Anytime Scorer option is the 90-minutes pick here...
- Anytime Scorer – Samantha Kerr @ 11/8 (2.38) with Betfred, 13/10 (2.30) Skybet, Ladbrokes, Coral, Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook, BetVictor
International competitions continue...
The Women’s World Cup continues next week, along with the Copa America. And the African Cup of Nations starts tonight.
We’ll be following all the stats & results, and will keep you up-to-date with more stats trends & bet opportunities over the summer.
