They are consistently considered "under-the-radar" contenders, possessing excellent physicality and tactical execution. However, they suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat to England (W) in the Euro 2022 semi-finals, which will serve as an opportunity for revenge.

They boast a perfect record in European Championship quarter-finals, adding to their confidence.

Forwards Stina Blackstenius and Lina Hurtig have been in excellent form in attack, providing reliable goal-scoring. England (W) features several world-class stars, such as attackers Lauren James, Alessia Russo, and Beth Mead, whose individual brilliance and goal-scoring prowess are powerful weapons for the team. In defense, the experience of Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson will be crucial. Both teams currently have no significant injury or suspension reports.

Nowgoal Prediction
Considering Sweden (W)'s impressive form in this tournament and their desire for revenge, coupled with England (W)'s strong quality as defending champions and their knockout stage experience, this will be a closely contested match. Although England (W) holds an advantage in historical head-to-head encounters, Sweden (W)'s resilience and home (neutral venue but with fan support) momentum should not be underestimated. The match is expected to be very tight, with a narrow victory likely to decide the outcome.

Prediction: England (W) win (1-2)
