Japan vs Sweden - Team news

The Nadeshiko enter this game after winning Group C with a perfect record. After that stunning run, Japan continued to dazzle the world by beating Norway in the Round of 16, confirming themselves as the top scoring team in the tournament. Hinata Miyazawa has been crucial to their efforts, which have seen her score five goals to become the tournament's top scorer.

On the other side of the pitch, Sweden dominated Group G with a perfect three-win round, which included a 5-0 win over Italy to ease their way past the group stage. Once in the KO rounds, the Blagult shocked the USWNT in an excruciating game that needed penalties to give away the ticket to this round. Now, the team from the North side of Europe will want to show they can put up a good show against another favorite to win the title, and they will surely appreciate any help from Amanda Ilestedt, the team's top scorer in the competition with three goals to her name.

Neither team has reported any injuries or suspensions, which means that they will have a full squad to choose from to sort this game out.
