Sweden-Italy is a match valid for the fourth day of the women’s Nations League: where to watch it, likely lineups and predictions
Fourth day of the Nations League for Italy women’s team coached by Andrea Soncin. After three days is three points the booty of the Azzurri, the result of the victory in Switzerland on the debut in this competition. Then, against the top ranked (Sweden, precisely) and World champions (Spain) came two defeats: both by one to zero, and especially the first undeserved.
The new course, the one after Milena Bertolini, let’s say it started well. But now the blue girls want to raise the level, and try to score points. Girelli and her teammates will try, but coming home unscathed from the Swedish trip is a difficult if not impossible task. The coach spoke in the press conference emphasizing how all have made themselves available, and on the field this is especially evident because tomorrow’s opponents in last summer’s World Cup beat us 5-0. In Castel di Sangro, on the other hand, Sweden had a tough time a month ago and was lucky when Di Guglielmo hit the woodwork on a clear shot. In short, it looks like a different Italy.
In the Azzurri household, there is confidence, as mentioned. Against Spain – Hermoso’s goal in the 89th minute, yes she unfortunately protagonist of the kiss stolen by Rubiales disqualified today by Fifa for three years – Italy played the game it had to play. It was not enough, however, to take points.

Objectively, the Azzurri have little chance, unfortunately, of managing to return home with a positive result.

So yes Swedish victory, but competition also by at least one goal per team and thus by at least three overall.
