Why you should back Norway
Norway will look to come out aggressive in a match they must win to have a chance to advance. A draw or less ends their tournament. Midfielder Guro Reiten is a superb playmaker with great footwork. Reiten can also put the ball in the back of the net, logging nine goals in 18 starts for Chelsea during the 2022-23 Women's Super League. Forward Caroline Graham Hansen provides this team with another striker.
Hansen has a knack for creating solid scoring opportunities. During the 2022-23 season for Barcelona, the 28-year-old had 11 goals and three assists. The Norwegians hav also played well on defense in the first two games, only allowing one goal thus far. Goalkeeper Aurora Mikalsen has two saves and one clean sheet in the 2023 World Cup.

Why you should back Philippines
This side rolls into this matchup with sky-high confidence. They are fresh off their first-ever World Cup win, defeating New Zealand 1-0 on July 25th as massive +1000 underdogs. Despite only having 31% of the possession against New Zealand, they played relentless and superb defense. Goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel was lights out, logging four saves in the contest. She's piled up 10 saves over the first two World Cup matches.
Forward Sarina Bolden has good awareness and instincts on the field. Bolden has no problem scoring with a header or with either foot. The 27-year-old rose up and headed the lone goal in the 24th minute versus New Zealand. Prior to this win, the Philippines were on a five-game skid. They have shown their ability to rise to the occasion and play a gritty game. See which team to pick here.
