Team news and rosters

Position Australia roster
Goalkeepers Williams, Micah, Arnold
Defenders Polkinghorne, Kennedy, Catley, Carpenter, Nevin, Grant, Brock
Midfielders Cooney-Cross, Luik, Logarzo, Kellond-Knight, Van Egmond, Yallop
Forwards Kerr, Foord, Fowler, Gielnik, Raso, Simon

An extra-time battle with Great Britain saw the Matildas book their place in the last four in dramatic circumstances - and they'll fancy their chances to go all the way in Japan now.

Teenager Mary Fowler's sensational contributions off the bench may well have earned her a starting spot for this clash, while the almost peerless Sam Kerr will surely retain her spot as they look to make amends for that 4-2 loss in Group G.

Predicted Australia starting XI: Micah; Carpenter, Kennedy, Luuik; Raso, Van Egmond, Yallop, Catley; Fowler, Kerr, Foord.

Position Sweden roster
Goalkeepers Lindahl, Falk, Musovic
Defenders Andersson, Kullberg, Glas, Eriksson, Ilestedt, Bjorn
Midfielders Bennison, Hurtig, Asllani, Angeldal, Seger, Roddar
Forwards Janogy, Jakobsson, Blackstenius, Schough, Rolfo, Anvegard, Blomqvist

The Blue and Yellow will make no mistakes about this being a foregone conclusion despite delivering a key defeat of their rivals during the early stages of the tournament - but they will be the favourites nevertheless after beating Japan.

Having returned to lead the line against the tournament hosts from injury in the last eight, Stina Blackstenius will likely start up front again, with captain Caroline Seger the rock in midfield.

Predicted Sweden starting XI: Lindahl; Glas, Ilestedt, Bjorn, Eriksson; Hurtig, Seger; Jakobsson; Janogy, Rolfo; Blackstenius.
