Australia and Sweden face in 2023 Women's World Cup, with Australia aiming for best finish, Sweden aiming for third-place finish

Posted : 18 August 2023
Australia and Sweden are set to compete for third place at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, aiming to recover from their semi-final losses. While Australia, the co-hosts, are assured of their best-ever World Cup finish, Sweden, who were runners-up in 2003, have secured third place three times before.
 
Australia's coach, Tony Gustavsson, intends to field his strongest lineup, emphasizing the importance of securing a medal. He highlighted that the match is not about giving players experience but rather about winning. Sweden, ranked third globally, will be seeking to overcome their semi-final defeat against Spain and secure a medal. They have a history of strong third-place finishes in past World Cups.
 
The match will be held at Lang Park in Brisbane, and Sweden's Kosovare Asllani welcomes the challenge of playing in a hostile atmosphere, aiming to silence the home crowd. The team is determined to bring a medal home and is fully prepared for the encounter.
 
Australia previously defeated Sweden 4-0 in Melbourne, although they will be missing center back Alanna Kennedy due to concussion symptoms. Captain Sam Kerr, who recently recovered from a calf injury and scored a remarkable goal against England, expressed her gratitude for being part of the journey and the team's accomplishments.
 
Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis predicts that Australia will win the match and clinch third place in the World Cup. She believes that Sweden may not have the same desire to finish third again, given their past experiences.

Brown-Finnis expects Australia to be motivated to end the tournament on a high note, particularly Sam Kerr, who aims to make up for missed opportunities in the semi-finals. Her prediction is a 3-2 victory for Australia over Sweden after extra time.
