England W meets Sweden W in the World Cup Women playoff for third place. The match will be played on Saturday, July 6th at Allianz Riviera (Nice)
In the semifinals, the English women fought as hard as they could against the strongest women's football team on the planet. Even having conceded a goal already in the 10th minute, they didn’t give up and scored in response after 9 minutes but conceded again in the 1st half. In the second half, the initiative was noticeably on the side of England, but the higher experience of the American women helped them, and they simply sat on lead to the final whistle.

The second semifinal was even more dramatic. The Swedes and the Dutch did not reveal the winner in the regulation time, although they both had the opportunity to score, and fortune smiled upon the Dutch national team in extra time. The Oranges scored in the 99th minute and simply did not allow the Scandinavians to win back in the remaining 11 minutes.
Consolation finals (for some reason, they have started calling matches for 3rd place in such a way in recent years, as if it’s not the team’s achievement to be 3rd on the planet, but some kind of shame) often take place in a more open form than the playoffs or the final itself. And these matches infrequently delight the fans with 3 or more goals. In addition, the England team quite effectively spent the entire tournament and scored 12 goals, and the Swedes also managed to score 10 times. Surely, the girls will gladden the audience with open and scoring football in the upcoming match. At least 3 goals are expected to be scored. The last 2 meetings between the teams were a little bit “dry”. But before that, they scored 4 and 5 goals in 2 matches.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
