The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 match between Italy and Argentina will take place at Eden Park at 11:30 am IST on Monday.
On Monday, the Women’s World Cup 2023 kicks off with a match between Italy Women and Argentina Women at Eden Park in Auckland. Italy is eager to secure a spot in the knockout rounds for the second consecutive World Cup, while Argentina is determined to advance to the knockout stage for the first time in their history.
Italy’s fourth Women’s World Cup appearance follows their previous participations in 1991, 1999, and 2019. Their impressive performance in France four years ago led them to the quarter-finals, where they were defeated by the eventual runners-up, the Netherlands. After a disappointing exit in the group stage at the recent European Championships, Italy seeks success in a challenging World Cup group with Argentina, South Africa, and Sweden. With three wins and a draw in their last four internationals, the team enters the tournament in decent form. Encouragingly, they have never lost their three previous World Cup openers, recording two wins and one draw in these matches.
Argentina makes their fourth Women’s World Cup appearance, with previous participations in 2003, 2007, and 2019. So far, they have yet to secure a win in the tournament, managing two draws and suffering seven losses in nine matches. Ranked 28th in the world, Argentina faces a tough challenge to advance to the knockout rounds, as both Sweden and Italy hold higher positions in the FIFA World Rankings. However, the team arrives at the tournament with momentum, winning five of their last six matches, all of which were clean sheets. They aim to achieve another shutout at the World Cup, a feat they have accomplished only once before in their history.
Italy Women probable starting lineup: Durante, Bartoli, Lenzini, Linari, Boattin, Caruso, Giugliano, Greggi, Cantore, Serturini, Giacinti
Argentina Women probable starting lineup: Correa, Braun, Mayorga, Cometti, Stabile, Rodriguez, Benitez, Ippolito, Bonsegundo, Banini Larroquette
