The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is officially underway from Australia and New Zealand. The host nations opened up the tournament with a pair of 1-0 wins on Thursday morning with the latter’s victory being considered an early upset over a previous Women’s World Cup winner, Norway.
Australia’s 1-0 win over Ireland without superstar striker Sam Kerr resulted in its odds jumping from +1200 pre-tournament to +900 after matchday one at Caesars Sportsbook. The Matildas are one of many teams looking to de-throne the United States over the next month.
New Zealand still remains a long shot — to put it nicely — at +10000. However, both host countries are currently favored to win their respective groups after opening up with three points apiece.
The Stars and Stripes are also favored to top their group, rather unsurprisingly, but let’s take a look at all of the group projections according to oddsmakers.
