SWE-W vs USA-W Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

The defending champions United States of America will wrap up their group stage assignments with a game against Sweden, with the top spot very much up for the grabs.

Group E so far:

• Sweden started their world cup journey with a 2-0 win over Chile.
• The game seemed to be heading for a stalemate with the score being 0-0 entering the final 10 minutes. But Kosovare Asllani (83′) and Madelen Janogy (90+4′) struck timely goals to bag the precious three points for the team.

Group F looks a little something like this ?

• The 2nd game was much more straightforward as the 2003 beaten finalists made the short work of Thailand, winning 5-1 to secure a place in the last-16.
• While the defending champions hogged the worldwide limelight for their out of the world display against Thailand, thrashing them 13-0 in what was the biggest ever victory in the world cup history (both men and women).

FT! USA 13-0 Thailand.

The biggest ever result in World Cup football.

Wow. #USA 13-0 #THA

Sweden Team News:

• There was a stoppage in play at the hour mark after a ball hit Lina Hurtig on her face. She was given a green light to go ahead and was even on the scoresheet in the match. She should be fine for the game.

• Head coach Peter Gerhardsson has no injuries or suspensions to contend with, and we expect him to go with a strong line-up against the champions.

Here is the full Sweden squad for the world cup:

• Goalkeepers: Jennifer Falk, Zecira Musovic, Hedvig Lindahl
• Defenders: Nilla Fischer, Hanna Glas, Amanda Ilestedt, Jonna Andersson, Nathalie Bjorn, Linda Sembrant, Magdalena Eriksson
• Midfielders: Lina Hurtig, Julia Roddar, Elin Rubensson, Anna Anvegard, Kosovare Asllani, Caroline Seger
• Forwards: Madelen Janogy, Mimmi Larsson, Anna Anvegard, Kosovare Asllani, Fridolina Rolfo, Olivia Schough, Julia Zigiotti Olme, Stina Blackstenius ———————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Sweden Probable XI: Hedvig Lindahl (GK), Magdalena Eriksson, Linda Sembrant, Nilla Fischer, Hanna Glas, Elin Rubensson, Caroline Seger, Fridolina Rolfo, Kosovare Asllani, Lina Hurtig, Fridolina Rolfö, Anna Anvegård

United States of America Team News:

• USA are yet to name a full-strength team in this world cup. Centre-back Becky Sauerbrunn missed the opening game with a thigh injury but returned to the starting XI against Chile, where head coach Jill Ellis made wholesale changes.

Full squad for the world cup:

• Goalkeepers: Adrianna Franch, Ashlyn Harris, Alyssa Naeher
• Defenders: Abby Dahlkemper, Tierna Davidson, Crystal Dunn, Ali Krieger, Kelley O’Hara, Becky Sauerbrunn, Emily Sonnett
• Midfielders: Morgan Brian, Julie Ertz, Lindsey Horan, Rose Lavelle, Allie Long, Samantha Mewis
• Forwards: Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd, Jessica McDonald, Alex Morgan, Christen Press, Mallory Pugh, Megan Rapinoe

Possible ins or outs of this game:

• With no disrespect to Chile, that was the game where Ellis could use her bench strength, for Sweden are no pushovers, and they were always going to present the biggest threat in this group. The 1st spot in the group is up for grabs, so in a sense, the real world cup starts now for the reigning champions.
• A total of nine changes were made for the Chile game, three at the back, three in the midfield, while all the three players from the frontline, Tobin Heath, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, were benched as well and remained unused substitutes.

• Only two of Becky Sauerbrunn, Julie Ertz and Abby Dahlkemper will be featuring at the back.

United States of America Probable XI: Alyssa Naeher (GK), Kelley O’Hara, Julie Ertz / Becky Sauerbrunn, Abby Dahlkemper, Crystal Dunn, Rose Lavelle, Sam Mewis, Lindsey Horan, Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath, Alex Morgan
