Three Women's World Cup titles separate Sweden Women and the United States women's national team (USWNT) with the two sides set to meet in a round of 16 encounter on Sunday.
The defending champions finished second in Group E despite back-to-back draws against Netherlands and Portugal in their final group ties. Vlatko Andonovski's side had started their campaign with a 3-0 win over Vietnam.
On the other hand, Sweden guaranteed themselves a spot in the knockouts with a game to spare following a 2-1 win over South Africa and thrashing Italy 5-0. Yet, with nine changes to the XI, Peter Gerhardsson's side managed to beat Argentina 2-0.
