Sydney Football Stadium on Tuesday local time will see an interesting battle between Colombia and South Korea in Group H of the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Germany are the overwhelming favourites to progress from the group while debutants Morocco complete the group. Colombia may not be one of the teams that are being talked about in this tournament, but can spring a surprise or two. They are playing their third World Cup campaign and will look to recreate the heroics of the 2015 edition when they reached the last-16 stage. It may not be an exaggeration that they are targeting the second spot in the group. Their tournament preparation has been mixed as Las Cafeteras have been heavily beaten by France and Italy in the friendlies but have remained unbeaten otherwise. Colombia shipped seven goals in those two defeats but have since won against Panama and drew two friendlies including a creditable 2-2 draw against China. One of the players in focus will be the youngster Linda Caicedo with the Real Madrid star coming on the back of two goals in ten club matches.

South Korea are into their fourth World Cup campaign and like Colombia, have reached the last-16 stage in 2015. It is their third successive World Cup and all eyes will be on the legendary Ji So-yun who has played 144 national games for a record 66 goals. The preparation couldn’t have been better for the Taegeuk Ladies who have won their last three friendlies coming into this competition. Two of those matches saw them score five goals, so the confidence in the camp could be high. They would need all that, as they look to halt a four-game losing run in the World Cup matches. Three of those defeats saw them fail to score and the recent scoring run will be a solace if they can address that area.
