Matildas vs. Sweden Predictions
—
Australia vs Sweden – Suncorp Stadium – Saturday 19th August
Australia ($2.88)
Sweden ($2.55)
Draw ($3.50)
Co-hosts Australia will be continuing to shoulder the hopes of a nation, as they take on a Sweden side, that have impressed throughout the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Australia were made to pay against England in the semi-finals, whilst Sweden were undone by late drama against Spain and both sides will want to walk away with a medal here at Suncorp Stadium.
Australia
It has been one hell of a journey for the Matildas, who overcame group stage ignominy against Nigeria to reach the semi-finals.
Unfortunately, a lack of clinical edge saw them fall short against England, but they are a group that has come a long way in a short space of time and the future looks bright for Australian football.
Sweden
Sweden meanwhile have shown some incredible mental fortitude throughout the 2023 FIFA World Cup, and they too have a platform to build on moving forwards.
The win over USA in the last 16 rocked the world of football to the core and with plenty of other positives to glean too, the 2023 FIFA World Cup has been a huge success for the Swedes.
