Women’s World Cup Power Rankings
United States (+250)
The United States heads to Australia and New Zealand as the favorite to lift the trophy. For those looking to bet on soccer, you can get USA at +250 to retain the World Cup crown.
The Stars and Stripes have been a dominant force since the World Cup’s inception, winning four of the eight tournaments. After wins in Canada in 2015 and in France in 2019, the United States is gunning for a third successive World Cup success. Vlatko Andonovski’s ladies are the team to beat Down Under.
England (+400)
England has also been tipped to have a strong 2023 World Cup tournament. They are high in the Women’s World Cup Power Rankings right now after winning the UEFA Women’s European Championship on home soil last year. The Lionesses have been in stunning form since the popular Sarina Wiegman took the reins.
England could be the team to watch out for in Australia and New Zealand, and if you want a bet on soccer in the World Cup, the bookmakers are offering tempting odds of +450 for the English to go all the way.
Spain (+650)
Spain is another strong European nation looking to reach the latter stages of the 2023 World Cup. They have also been in stunning form in recent times, suffering just one defeat since last year’s Euros championship in England.
Spain is currently the third favorite to lift the trophy at odds of +500. Can Jorge Vilda’s La Roja cause an upset and win the World Cup for the first time?
Germany (+700)
Germany heads into the tournament as a +700 shot. They are not quite the same team these days, but the Germans are still the most successful European nation in World Cup history, lifting the trophy in 2003 and 2007.
Germany is high in the Women’s World Cup Power Rankings on merit, though their form heading to the Southern Hemisphere has been mediocre at best.
Australia (+1200)
Australia could be a dark horse on home turf. Right now, the Aussies are available at +1200 to lift the trophy in Sydney in late August. The joint host may be an outsider, but can Australia upset a few nations in their home tournament?
Will Stars and Stripes Retain the World Cup?
On paper, the United States is strong, and Andonovski’s side looks well-equipped to have a real go at winning the World Cup. Several top European nations will be out to stop them, but the USA is many people’s Women’s FIFA World Cup pick to go all the way.
