Before Betting On Sweden vs Australia
A big weekend at the Women’s World Cup kicks off with the consolation price being handed out on Saturday at Suncorp Stadium, as the match for third place will be competed. Australia will achieve their best ever finish at the competition regardless of the outcome on Saturday, but they will be bidding to become only the third nation from the AFC region to win a medal at the competition following Japan and China.

The Aussies fell short in reaching the Women’s World Cup final earlier this week, as they fell to a 3-1 loss against England. However, they haven’t lost back-to-back at the same edition of the competition since losing against Sweden and China in the group stage in 1999.
Sweden will be competing in the match for third on the fourth occasion this weekend. On each of their previous three appearances in the match, they have landed victory. That includes the most recent edition in 2019, as they landed a 2-1 win over England. Sweden have scored multiple goals in each of their previous three appearances in the match for third.
The Swedes boast an excellent record against Australia, as they are unbeaten in three matches against the Aussies at the Women’s World Cup. Over that period, they have landed two victories and played out one draw. Interestingly, both teams have scored in all three previous World Cup showdowns between the nations.
