While the Matildas are ranked one of the strongest sides in the tournament, they are not considered favourites to win the World Cup.
Pre-tournament, many outlets rated them as the team with the fifth or sixth best chance to win it all, with the likes of France and Germany deemed to have a similar chance of success.
The current favourites to win the tournament are England, with the United States, Canada, Germany and Brazil all exiting earlier than expected.
Spain are close behind in the odds, while Australia are on the third line of betting.
