This is probably the match of the round of 16 stage.

USA were favourites before the start of the tournament, but have suddenly dropped in everyone's reckoning due to a series of mediocre performances in this tournament so far.

Sweden are a traditional power and looking in good form, so if the USWNT is out of sorts, they will likely be exposed in this knock-out game.

That being said, I can't help feeling that it's still the USA - there is plenty of quality across the pitch, and all it will take is a little spark for them to wake up in this tournament.

Will the trend of the higher-ranked team winning continue in the knock-out phase, or can Sweden show the current world champions the door?
