Switzerland Women are no less in a better position than New Zealand Women to make it into the 2023 Women's World Cup knockouts when the two nations clash on Sunday.
Currently atop Group A with four points from the 2-0 win over the Philippines and a goalless draw against Norway, Inka Grings' side will only need to avoid a defeat in order to progress from the group stage.
Whereas, with three points from their 1-0 win over Norway before losing out against the Philippines by the same margin, the Jitka Klimkova-led team can hand themselves a spot in the round of 16 with a win on Sunday. A draw would leave New Zealand dependent on the other game's result, although the co-hosts currently have the advantage over the Philippines owing to a better goal difference.
