Women's World Cup 2023 score predictions: Rachel Brown-Finnis predicts the last-16 matches

Along with Japan and Jamaica, Switzerland are one of only three teams not to concede a goal so far at this World Cup.

They should be a bit more careful about being caught on the counter-attack this time, and although the Swiss will make it hard for them, Spain's firepower should see them through.I thought Norway were down and out after they lost their first game to New Zealand. They have turned it around, but still are a bit fortunate to be in the last 16.

But I have to go with Netherlands to go through. The Dutch seem to have found some form at exactly the right time.What a game this is. These two teams were probably expecting to be meeting each other a lot further down the line, and how strange it is for the USA to be seen as underdogs. It would be foolish to think that far ahead, though, because we have to get past Nigeria first and they are going to be very hard to score against. We can't take anything for granted.

They've been brilliantly organised and have come up with some big moments in attack - their last-gasp winner against Germany was technically excellent, in the way it was created and scored.
