Spain favourites to take Women's World Cup title

Spain narrowly escaped with a victory on Tuesday in their Women's World Cup semifinal matchup with Sweden in Auckland, New Zealand, and now await their opponent for the 20 August final in Sydney, Australia.

Australia and England meet early on Wednesday morning. Both obviously offer longer betting odds to win it all because each would need to win two matches; Spain have only one hurdle left.

Following Spain's Tuesday victory, BetMGM listed the Spaniards as -125, with England at +200 and the host country Australia at +375.

Spain sent Sweden home in a stirring final few minutes that saw three goals scored after the 80th minute – two by Spain.

Spain and England were among the top betting contenders – along with the US – prior to the tournament, with Australia holding anywhere from the fourth- to sixth-best odds among several sportsbooks.

In Wednesday's semifinal, England are favoured at +130 at BetMGM. Australia are given +220 moneyline odds to win outright, while a tie (which would require penalty kicks) is listed at +210.
