The second clash of Group A at the Women’s World cup will be highly intriguing, as the Philippines play in their first ever finals match when they take on Switzerland in Dunedin.
The Philippines, led by former Australia coach Alen Stajcic, have been on a fairy-tale run in recent times, reaching the Asian Cup final last year and now having qualified for the biggest women’s football tournament. They will have no fear against any of the teams they come up against.
Switzerland, meanwhile, are backed as one of the two most likely teams to progress from Group A, but they are undergoing a tough run of form, with the team winless since last October.
If the Philippines are to continue their dream run and progress to the knockout rounds, this match is a must-win for Stajcic’s side.
