SWEDES STRONG FAVOURITES
Bookies understandably have Sweden at around 1/3 to qualify. Sam Kerr will surely have something to say about that though…even with her mystery injury.
HAVE THE MATILDAS RECOVERED?
Friday-to-Monday is not the greatest recovery time after a Slobberknocker (copyright Jim Ross) of a match, the seven-goal thriller against Great Britain on Friday. The Swedish route was a more sedate 3-1 victory over hosts Japan. Will this disparity play a part in the shape of weary legs in the last third of normal time or possibly extra time? We will soon find out.
JUST THE ONE CHANGE…
Chloe Logarzo comes into the Australia side for Aivi Luik which could see Steph Catley drop into the back three. The Swedes are unchanged from their 3-1 victory over Japan.
And these are the Swedes who will take the field in just under 40 minutes…
This is how the Matildas are lining up:
Well, this semi-final has something to follow. Oooooh, Canada – denying the hubristic favourites south of their border in the United States but who will they face in the final? I’m Ciaran Baynes and I’ll be following this match with you.
