Sweden – Australia women preview: Form, team news, and possible lineups
Read the latest news and updates on both teams ahead of their duel, including our predicted Australia vs England women lineups:
Sweden women
It's been a great run for Sweden at this World Cup, but for the second time in a row and third time in the last four World Cup appearances, the Scandinavian team came one step short of reaching the final game. On the bright side, the last two times that happened Sweden won the third place match and with the team fully healthy and ready to go, Swedish fans have reasons to hope for another bronze medal.
Sweden women predicted lineup:
Spencer – Wiltshire, A. Swaby, C. Swaby, Blackwood – Sampson, Spence – Matthews, Primus, Brown – Shaw
Australia women
This generation of Australian women already ensured their place in football history by reaching the semi-finals at a World Cup for the first time ever, but with Australia hosting the tournament, their fans certainly feel the sting of missed opportunity after the team's loss to England in the semis. The Matildas were without Alanna Kennedy in the semi-finals due to an illness and she remains questionable for this game as well.
Australia women predicted lineup:
Arnold – Catley, Kennedy, Hunt, Carpenter – Gorry, Vine, Cooney-Cross, Raso – Fowler, Foord

Player to Watch: Samantha Kerr
While Samantha Kerr didn't have a great tournament after missing the group stages with an injury and only starting in the semi-final game against England, she is our player to watch in this match.
After all, the 29-year-old Chelsea striker and Australian captain did score her only goal of the tournament in that only start so far and we can see her doing well against Sweden too.
