Switzerland vs New Zealand preview
Switzerland meet co-hosts New Zealand at Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin, with both teams' eyes firmly fixed on a spot in the last 16. A win for either side guarantees knockout football, while a draw is also enough for the Swiss to progress, with the Football Ferns facing a nervous wait for the outcome of the Norway vs Philippines fixture in the event of a stalemate. Whatever happens, it'll be full of tension and is a game not to be missed.
Switzerland are in pole position to reach the last 16 for just the second time in their history after a goalless draw with Norway followed a 2-0 victory in their opening fixture against the Philippines. La Nati began well against tournament dark horse, Norway but struggled to turn fine early play into an advantage and by the end of the game had to rely on goalkeeper Gaelle Thalmann to hold onto a point. A point is enough for Inka Grings' side to reach the knockouts and in captain Lia Walti, who plays her club football for Arsenal, and PSG's excellent forward Ramona Bachmann they have the individual talent to come through any test.
New Zealand's two games at the 2023 Women's World Cup have featured more upsets than a toddler's birthday party. The Football Ferns kicked off the tournament with a stunning defeat of former champions Norway thanks to Hannah Wilkinson's well-worked goal, only to fall unexpectedly to defeat against the Philippines last time out. There was no lack of effort in that loss, but Jitka Klimkova's side couldn't reproduce the front-foot display that had overwhelmed the Norwegians. Though Jacqui Hand did have a goal disallowed after fine work from Wilkinson, the co-hosts know they must make better decisions in the final third if they're to reach the knockout stages of the Women's World Cup for the first time.
