Matildas vs Sweden Expectations
- Despite losing 1-3 to the superior English team, Matildas did find the net themselves. We are sure that they’ll do so against Sweden as well.
- Matildas are the bookmakers' favorites and with the home-field support behind them, we should see the Australian ladies get the better of Sweden on Saturday.
- Three of Matildas’ last five World Cup games had plenty of goals. We should see something similar at Suncorp Stadium as well.

Matildas vs Sweden Lineups & Team News
Matildas
The Australian ladies failed to make chances pay against England and as a result, the team got denied access to the World Cup Final. Sam Kerr did everything she could to drag her team to the grand final at Stadium Australia, but England were a hard nut to crack. Australia had 41.0% possession and almost as many shots at target as England did, but in the end it was the European side that emerged victoriously with a 3-1 win. However, we do believe Australia have a potent chance of going for the bronze on Saturday, as the home-field advantage against Sweden could really prove decisive.
Predicted lineup – Arnold (GK), Carpenter, Hunt, Polkinghorne, Catley, Foord, Cooney-Cross, Gorry, Raso, Fowler & Kerr
Sweden
The Swedish team was on the counterattack against La Furia Roja. Spain were hammering away on the 15th of August. The team had more shots on target, more shots at target, more possession, and more passes. All in all, it was a deserved win for the European team. We believe that Rubensson and her teammates won’t be able to cope with the Australians and the momentum they’ve built.
Predicted lineup – Musovic (GK), Andersson, Eriksson, Illestedt, Bjorn, Angeldal, Rubensson, Asllani, Rolfo, Kaneryd & Blackstenius
Player to Watch: Sam Kerr
Australia’s #20 is a vital weapon in the hands of her manager. Sam Kerr scored a lovely 63rd-minute goal in the match against England that for a second gave Australia hopes they can achieve something truly historic. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be as England swiftly bagged two more at Stadium Australia. However, we are convinced that Sam Kerr would be the most difficult player to contain on the 19th of August. If Sweden want to put their hands on the bronze medals, nullifying Kerr should be a top priority, as she seems eager to replicate the solid display against England.
Matildas vs Sweden: Where to Watch?
The match for 3rd place between Matildas and Sweden will be broadcasted by FOX Sports, FOX Sports app, and FOX Sports website. Other good options include Peacock and Telemundo. Don’t miss out on the game on Saturday!
