Sweden will try and knock rivals USA out of the Women’s World Cup today.
While the USWNT remain one of the leading teams in the game, they have hardly covered themselves in glory thus far.
Draws against the Netherlands and Portugal in the group stage hardly lit the tournament up and perhaps their first knockout game could represent something of a changing of the guard.
Indeed, Sweden are ranked No.2 in the world rankings and have put both Argentina and Italy to the sword already.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Sweden vs USA is scheduled for a 10am BST kick-off time on Sunday August 6, 2023.

Sweden vs USA team news
Unlike at Euro 2022, injuries have not yet played a decisive part for Sweden, who largely have a full squad from which to choose.
For the US, it is largely the same story as things stand.
Sweden vs USA prediction
While it’s hard to bet against the US given their experience and individual talent but Sweden just look a much better team these days.
