Teams looking to avoid early elimination meet at the 2023 Women's World Cup on Thursday when Argentina takes on South Africa in a Group G matchup. The Argentinians are coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss to Italy after having seemingly sewed up at least one point. A goal by Cristiana Girelli in the 87th minute, however, provided the Italians with three points. South Africa also looked like they were going to at least get one point, taking a 1-0 lead over Sweden in the 48th minute, only to have them tie the score in the 65th minute and the game-winner in the 90th minute.
The match from Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand, kicks off at 8 p.m. ET. Argentina are the +115 favorites (risk $100 to win $115) in Caesars Sportsbook's latest Argentina vs. South Africa odds, with South Africa at +260. A draw is priced at +200 and the over/under for total goals scored is 1.5 (For more soccer coverage, click here.)

Green knows among those expected to give the Argentinian offense a boost is forward Estefania Banini. The 33-year-old has found the net 12 times in her international career, including a goal against Peru in a July 14 friendly. She also scored in a 3-0 win over Venezuela in a friendly in April. He also knows the South Africans pride themselves with being a high-effort side, as was the case in the loss to Sweden on Sunday. Forward Hilda Magaia scored the match's lone goal in the loss, and the 28-year-old has 17 career international goals since 2018, including seven since last July.
