Canada and Australia will do battle in their final match of Group B in Melbourne on Monday night (local time), with co-hosts Australia staring down the barrel of elimination in the group stages of their own tournament.
After their shock 3-2 defeat to Nigeria in their last match, the Matildas now sit in third place in Group B, knowing only a win will guarantee their passage to the Round of 16. A draw, on the other hand, would require them to rely on Republic of Ireland winning by two or more goals against Nigeria in the other simultaneous clash.
Canada, meanwhile, recovered from a slow start against Ireland in Perth to record a come-from-behind 2-1 win, meaning they only require a point to qualify for the knockout rounds — though they will be chasing a win that may see them top the group.
It is sure to be a tight, tense and drama-filled affair, as both coaches look to avoid defeat and elimination from the group stages that could see them out of a job.
