Sweden continued with their fine run at Tokyo 2020 after seeing off Australia 1-0 in the semi finals of Women Football, to set up a final meeting with Canada, who ousted favorites USA by the same margin. Sweden have been consistent at this competition, winning all their matches so far and go into the final as firm favorites. They have scored 13 goals in the five matches, kept three clean sheets and only conceded three goals. Theirs has been an all round balanced performance, scoring in all their matches, four times netting two or more goals, a run that has seen three of the five games produce over 2.5 goals.

Fortune has smiled at Canada for the better part of this competition, but they will take credit for defending well too. In their five matches, while they have just two clean sheets, at no point have they conceded more than a goal. They will need to put all they can muster defensively for this game. Only in their second group game did they manage to score more than a goal, in the 2-1 win over Chile. They failed to score in one of the five matches and only one of their matches has produced over 2.5 goals. In the last two matches they’ve faced top opposition but came through without conceding a goal, beating world champions USA 1-0 right after eliminating Brazil. They haven’t scored as many goals as the Swedes, just five in five matches but for the Canadians, it is self-belief that will push them.
