The Matildas are down 1-0 in their World Cup third-place playoff clash with Sweden after a controversial VAR call. Follow all the updates in our live blog.
Sweden pose a very different attacking threat to the Matildas than what England did in their 3-1 semifinal win.
The Lionesses weren't afraid to hold onto the ball, working in tight, technical triangles with surgical passes to dismantle Australia's back line. By contrast, as we've seen throughout the tournament, the Swedes are an incredibly physical side, using the speed of Arsenal forward Stina Blackstenius to try and pounce on transition balls, as well as using their height in the box to capitalise on corners and set pieces.
Sweden's strengths are their athleticism: they pressed the hell out of Japan and were able to squeeze a couple of goals by simply denying them the ability to play the ball, so it'll be really interesting to see how they work against a high-energy pressing team like Australia, who have been at their deadliest when also playing in transition.
Could they cancel each other out? Or will one be forced to play a style they're not comfortable with to try and nullify the other? We'll see!
