Spain and Sweden are set to face off in the semifinals of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023. Spain, who are having their best showing at a World Cup, will rely on their standout player Aitana Bonmati to unlock the Swedish defense. Bonmati has been in great form, scoring three goals and providing two assists so far in the tournament. The Spanish team will also be looking to make up for their quarter-final exit in the previous EURO 2022 tournament.
On the other hand, Sweden, ranked three in the world, have been solid defensively, conceding just twice in five games. Goalkeeper Zecira Musovic and central defender Amanda Ilestedt have been key players for the team, with Ilestedt surprisingly in contention for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals. Captain Kosovare Asllani, despite not being fully fit, has played a crucial role in Sweden's journey to the semifinals.
This will be the second meeting between the two teams, with their previous encounter ending in a draw. Both teams have shown resilience and determination, making it to the latter stages of the tournament. With a spot in the final at stake, it promises to be an exciting match between Spain and Sweden.
In the other semifinal, Australia will face England, with both teams vying for a chance to reach their first-ever World Cup final. The match will be broadcasted on BBC One, and fans can also follow the action through live updates on TNT Sports. Who will come out on top and secure a spot in the final?
