Colombia Women v Republic of Korea Women

Colombia Women vs South Korea Women Preview

The other game being played in Group H features this upcoming tussle between 25th ranked Colombia and 17th ranked South Korea in what looks like being a tightly fought affair between two nations whose previous best in the World Cup has been reaching the last 16 of the tournament which was back in 2015.

With Germany looking favourites to finish top of Group H, it's likely to be the likes of Colombia and South Korea who will be fighting it out for the other spot, starting with this upcoming fixture at the Sydney Football Stadium, and Colombia bring a fairly solid sequence of results into this important clash as they have suffered just two defeats out of their last 14 matches in all competitions.

With eight wins and four draws, Colombia look to have a decent chance of making a positive start to their World Cup campaign where they'll be looking to build upon their recent achievement which saw them runners-up in the 2022 Copa America Femenina that also secured their place in these World Cup finals.

Similar to Colombia, South Korea qualified for this edition of the World Cup via the runners-up spot in the Asian equivalent competition of the 2022 Asian Cup and they also bring a three-match winning streak into this group opener having recorded wins against Zambia (winning 5-0 twice) and Haiti 2-1 which will give Colin Bell's squad a welcome boost of confidence.

However, prior to these recent victories, South Korea had also been handed three defeats on the trot by way of losses incurred against England 4-0,Belgium 2-1 and Italy 2-1 but the bigger picture shows the South Koreans have lost just three out of their last 11 matches in all competitions.

Six of these last 11 matches have also produced goals for both teams and with this upcoming fixture looking to be a close run thing, the potential for both teams to score in this opening game on Tuesday lunchtime looks a decent prospect.

Colombia W v South Korea W Verdict

Six of Colombia's last eight matches have also resulted in both teams scoring while South Korea have also been involved in matches featuring goals for both sides, so this upcoming fixture promises to be an interesting encounter between two nations that have never played against each other in any sort of competition before.
