How does the supercomputer predict Vietnam in the 2023 Women's World Cup?

The US - the team that won the last two consecutive championships - has the highest probability of crowning with 18%, followed by Sweden and Germany (11%), France (9%), Great Britain, Spain and Australia (8 (8). %), Brazil (7%), Canada (6%), Netherlands (5%). Japan is the Asian representative with the highest probability of winning with 3%. China and Korea have the same 1% as Denmark and Italy.

Gracenote also predicts two semi-final pairs, USA-Sweden and France-Germany. The final will take place between the US and Germany, with a 54% win rate belonging to the defending champions.

Vietnam kicked off its first match against the US at 12pm on Saturday, July 22, at 8am on the same day in Hanoi time. The team has a 1.23% probability of winning and 3.03% of drawing, as calculated by Oddspedia.
