Team news & rosters
Position | Great Britain roster |
---|---|
Goalkeepers | Maciver, Roebuck, Telford |
Defenders | Bright, Bronze, Daly, Houghton, Stokes, Williamson, Wubben-Moy |
Midfielders | Ingle, Little, Scott, Walsh, Weir |
Forwards | Charles, Hemp, Kirby, Parris, Stanway, Toone, White |
With two wins and a draw in Group E, Team GB have emerged among the favourites to challenge for medals in Tokyo, but face their toughest challenge yet under Hege Riise's watch.
Spearheaded by Ellen White up front however, with Caroline Weir in the frame to start in midfield, there will be no shortage of skilled matchwinners among a side looking to write their own piece of history in Japan.
Predicted Great Britain starting XI: Roebuck; Bronze, Williamson, Bright, Stokes; Scott, Ingle; Daily, Weir, Stanway; White.
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 |
Qualifying as one of the two best third-place sides from the group stage, the Matildas arrive in the last eight on the back of a cagey goalless draw with world champions the USWNT - and they'll be out to break a long-standing Olympic hoodoo.
They have never progressed further than the quarter-finals at the games - but with dynamite options like Sam Kerr up front, they clearly have the talent to deliver a big result against their marginally more fancied opponents.
Predicted Australia starting XI: Micah; Carpenter, Polkinghorne, Kennedy; Simon, Van Egmond, Yallop, Catley; Fowler, Kerr, Foord.
