Bottom of Group G, Argentina Women stand a chance of booking their spot in the 2023 Women's World Cup knockouts when they take on group leaders Sweden Women on Wednesday.
After a 2-1 win over South Africa in their opening game, Peter Gerhardsson's side thrashed Italy 5-0 as Sweden cruised into the World Cup last 16 in style, but will be looking to secure the top spot in the group.
Whereas La Albiceleste managed to avert a second defeat at the tournament following their 1-0 loss to Italy as German Portanova's side rallied back from two goals down to register a crucial 2-2 draw against South Africa.
Therefore, depending on the result in the game between South Africa and Italy, the South American outfit will need to pick up a win in order to make to the round of 16 of the Women's World Cup for the first time ever; while Sweden would only need a point to finish atop the group.
