Matchday Two plays four of its last five matches here on Saturday, and I am really excited for the lead matchup we have here.

Saturday’s Best FIFA Women’s World Cup Picks: Sweden vs. Italy

Sweden vs. Italy

This game could get super interesting if Argentina really pours it on South Africa in their Matchday Two matchup, but either way, it is a high-level competition between two teams that have aspirations of lifting a trophy in just a few weeks. I would key on Stina Blackstenius here. I think team Sweden got the scare they needed in the Group Stage to not let down at all for the next 90 minutes, and while Italy is certainly capable of putting up a fight, I do not think she will be stopped.

The Pick: Stina Blackstenius Anytime Goal (+165)
