Sweden vs South Africa Women Preview: Form, News, and Probable Lineups
Check out the latest information on both teams ahead of their duel here, including the most likely Sweden vs South Africa Women lineups:
Sweden Women
So far, Sweden hasn't missed a single World Cup, which already makes them one of the best women's national teams in the world. However, they are still waiting for their first title after reaching at least semi-finals four out of eight times. The closest they got to winning was in 2003 when they lost to Germany in the final after extra time and a Golden Goal.
Sweden Women Predicted Lineup:
Falk – Andersson, Eriksson, Sembrant, Bjorn – Seger, Asllani, Schough – Rolfo, Blackstenius, Jakobsson
South Africa Women
For the second time in a row and the second time in history, South Africa will participate at a World Cup for women. Four years ago, they've ended the competition with all three losses, so their fans will be hoping for something better this time around. In any case, South Africa comes here without any expectations, so any good results would be a pleasant surprise.
South Africa Women Predicted Lineup:
Ngobeni – Magama, Mbane, Makhubela, Holweni – Gamede, Smidt – Seoposenwe, Motlhalo, Salgado – Magaia
Starting Lineups
Teams often announce their starting lineups an hour before the kickoff.
