Women’s World Cup quarterfinals preview
Team USA may be out of it, but the Women’s World Cup Quarterfinals are underway this week – and the soccer thrills have continued to deliver. If you’re one of the millions betting on the tournament, we’ve got a DraftKings promo just for you.
Use our DraftKings promo link to get $150 in bonus bets when you wager just $5 on the sportsbook.
The Women’s World Cup is having its biggest year in history, with more investment and interest int he global women’s soccer than ever before. But now the 32 teams we started with have dwindled to eight, and the quarterfinals kick off on Thursday and continue through Saturday morning across US time zones.
The matchups are:
- Spain vs. Netherlands
- Japan vs. Sweden
- Australia vs. France
- England vs. Colombia
Only four can advance to the semi-finals, which start in the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 15.
We’ve got a betting preview from DraftKings for the four quarterfinal matches. But first, here’s how to claim the DraftKings promo.

We love the current DraftKings promo because it sets a low bar of entry to qualify. You don’t have to make a huge wager you’re not yet comfortable with. You don’t have to win or lose a bet. All you have to do is wager $5, and you get the $150 – guaranteed.
We also like that the bonus comes as six separate bets, so you can get some practice making several bets without putting down a huge cash stake yourself. It’s ideal for anyone getting started with sports betting – but also gives major perks to pros who like a little extra boost for their betting.
In Michigan, DraftKings also offers a casino arm where you can play online poker and casino games. Read our in-depth DraftKings Sportsbook review and DraftKings Casino Review to learn more about both.
With eight teams left in the Women’s World Cup, let’s look at the four matchups you can bet on this week and weekend. We’ve noted each team’s current FIFA World Ranking as well.
- Spain (6) vs. Netherlands (9) - Thursday, 9 p.m. ET
- Japan (11) vs. Sweden (3) - Friday, 3:30 a.m. ET
- Australia (10) vs. France (5) - Saturday, 3 a.m. ET
- England (4) vs. Colombia (25) - Saturday, 6:30 a.m. ET
Clearly, there is one Cinderella story among them: Colombia. They shocked the world when they beat World No. 2 Germany in the group stage and made it to the Knockout stage while Germany went packing home. They played Jamaica (World No. 43) in the Round of 16 – another even more stunning underdog team. Now they must face the World No. 4 England, who is heavily favored in the match.
Here are the odds on DraftKings for each Women’s World Cup match. We like a bet for Australia, who are underdogs but have the home advantage and have played well in this tournament.
