Why you should back Spain
The Spaniards have scored 13 goals in their first four games at the Women’s World Cup. They scored four goals in the first half of their 5-1 victory over Switzerland. Aitana Bonmati registered a brace, while Alba Redondo, Laia Codina and Jennifer Hermoso also found the back of the net. Hermoso, Bonmati and Redondo have all scored three goals at the Women’s World Cup, forming an extremely dangerous attack.
Bonmati has also been an incredible facilitator, recording two assists, which is tied for the team lead with Eva Navarro. Spain’s dynamic attack will certainly create chances against a Netherlands side that gave up 13 shots, including seven on target, against South Africa. La Roja have controlled at least 70% of possession in every match during this tournament, providing Spain the majority of scoring opportunities during any given game. See who to back at SportsLine.
