Tokyo Day 1 Tips (Saturday July 24)

Chile Women vs Canada Women
Canada 3-0 ($6)

Canada enters the Women’s Football competition as a live medal hope, and I think they’ll prove too good for Chile.

Canada drew with host nation Japan in their tournament opener, while Chile were delivered defeat by Great Britain.

There is no doubt that Canada will improve for their first hit-out, and it could be a long night at the office for the South Americans.

Sweden Women vs Australia Women
Both Teams to Score ($1.85)

The Matildas began their Tokyo campaign with a 2-1 win over New Zealand, but face another rise in class against Sweden this evening.

It was disjointed and ugly in parts but in a competition like this one, a win is a win, and the Matildas will be eager to lock down a place in the knockout stage of the tournament by pulling off an upset.

Sweden stamped their Gold Medal aspirations with a thumping 3-0 win over world champions the United States, and they have opened clear and justifiable favourites to win this match.

I think that both teams will get on the board.
