Women's World Cup co-hosts Australia are in danger of an early exit as they prepare to face Canada in Group B. Australia are third with three points from two matches, while Canada are second on four. Despite being the highest ranked in this group, Canada haven't had an easy run so far. Their campaign started with a 0-0 draw with Nigeria. They then had to come from behind to beat Ireland 2-1 in their second game. That win was helped on by an own goal from Ireland's Megan Connolly then Adrianna Leon confirmed the win. Twice in their last five matches, Canada have failed to score but they'll hope that doesn't happen here. Either way, a draw will be enough for them to proceed. In their four meetings with Australia before, Canada have never lost. They have bagged three wins in that run while their only World Cup meeting in 2007, ended 2-2.

Australia are faced with a situation where they must win. Any other result will not favor the co-hosts. They are coming from a shock 3-2 loss to lower ranked Nigeria and here they have to show their mettle. Australia are only ranked three places behind Canada and are expected to show it on the pitch. They opened their charge with a slim win over Ireland but when they had the chance to secure passage, they faltered. Australia will bank on their good scoring run going into this game. In their last five matches they've only failed to score once. At the World Cup stage, Australia have failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches. However, they have never beaten Canada in their four previous meetings. In four of their last five World Cup matches, both teams scored.
