Canada and Australia will face off in their final Group B match at the 2023 Women's World Cup on Monday. Both teams are battling it out for a place in the knockout stage along with current group leaders, Nigeria.
Co-hosts Australia started their campaign with a win over Ireland but then succumbed to a defeat against a strong Nigeria. The team though has a talented attack, good enough to return to winning ways against Canada. The return from injury of Sam Kerr, who is the current FWA Women's Footballer of the Year, should boost their hopes of a win.
Canada held Nigeria in their tournament opener and then beat Ireland 2-1 to come back into the fray. They will be hoping to pull off a big result against the co-hosts on Monday. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
