FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

The third place play-off match will be between two teams Sweden vs Australia. Among these two teams we can select as strong, it is difficult to predict which team will perform well and win. However, although Sweden women's team is in position but Australia is also strong, it is very difficult to predict which team will finish third. I think against Sweden, Australia can take third position if Australia play well in the game.

Sweden Vs Australia

I leaning more towards Sweden, they are the better side in my opinion, and luck have been more on the Sweden's team side too so I'd have to finish third place, while I'm all Spain to win the tournament.

It's about damn time they do! They have a very decent team and have their team playing at the highest of stands in Europe too, then why the hell not ? It would be a deserving for which team wins it, but if there is any team I felt really sorry for and I think they deserve to have reached at least the semi finals would be the Japanese team, they were my team of the tournament, they just got really unlucky imo.

Sweden is favorite for the third place Holder,they have been outstanding in this Tournament regardless their hard luck in the competition. Third place will better for them. But Spain will definitely win England for the title on Sunday.

I find both games interesting. Sweden vs Australia might end in an unexpected result since Sweden look favourite, its odds are quite better but the game is in Australia after all which might give a push to the Aussie national team.
Spain - England in the final match where the odds of Spain is better while the history is in the side of England. I don't back any of the teams since the result might be hazardous but I tend to follow what bookies say.

Well, if you wish to see the Australian young team in action again, then the good news for you is that they will still play a 3rd position match on Saturday with Sweden. This will be an interesting game too and Australia would be desperate to get hold of the 3rd position at least.

Although I see Sweden to be the favourite's for this match with the odds of 2.4 (Australia has odds for 2.8 at stake.com) but if somehow this match moves towards extra time and plenty, then it will be anyone's game and we have seen in the past how well the Australian won on the plenty kicks in the quarterfinals against France.

I am ok with the way it is and as I said two well-deserved final participants with Spain and England.

I really wonder what the global audience statistics will be because one reason for women to be paid less compared to men has always been that they attract less audience to their games or on TV, but I have seen some numbers from games in the recent past and those numbers were quite impressive. Many people around the world have fun watching those games, which is awesome.

Usually, the match for third place is not that interesting because the players look calmer and are not so determined to win because that's what I feel every time I watch a match in men's football. Maybe it will be different in women's football because they feel this is still a prestigious achievement.

I believe, and I've already said it, that Australia should play with all their energy, since they'll be in front of their home fans, and finishing with a win would be very good and very honorable. As I said, it's an attitude of respect towards the fans who pay for tickets and go to the stadium or support them in any other way

There's also a motivating factor: the third-place prize is a little better:
4th place = US$ 2.455 million
3rd place = US$ 2.61 million

My bet is on Australia, but I haven't decided on the champion yet

Australia had a lot of hope but they didn't make it Many thought and predicted that Australia would be able to make it to the final but they didn't make it but Australia still have a better chance than Sweden for the third place. Although there is not much difference between the third prize and the fourth prize, winning the game is more fun that's why every team wants to win and every team's supporters also want their supported team to win. The Australian women's team is expected to win the third prize but it will now entirely depend on their performance whether they can win the match. Sweden play very well, so it will not be easy for Australia to win the match as their rival team

[rdluffy]

Not only the teams but also the fans themselves do not really like the game for third place. There is something illogical in the game for third place - two teams that have already lost continue to participate in the tournament (at least formally). In general, I am a supporter of modern formats that are used in eSports - for example, the double elimination system. If it were used, then there would be much less talk about the randomness of results in national team tournaments.

I understand the discouragement about playing for third place, since the team has just lost, but the thing about the World Cup, for example, or the Olympics is that there's a bronze medal, so third place has to be decided
Of course, it could be defined by the whole campaign and whoever has the most points or the biggest goal difference could take third place, but I still believe that the third-place matches can make for a good game and for the fans it's a good warm-up for the grand final

Besides that, it depends on the team playing, I cited the example of Croatia, where they played and won third place and were very happy. It's a source of great pride to come third in a World Cup, for any team
It's part of sport to lose, but coming away from the World Cup with a win, and playing at home, could be very good for Australian soccer and its fans

[LTU_btc]

I have nothing against Sweden, but I'm going to support Australia in 3rd place game. Maybe I'm wrong, but for Sweden it won't be their biggest game in their life. After all, they were 3rd in previous World Cup, have Silver medals from Oympics in 2016 and 2020. While Australia don't have big achievements, so, it's their chance. And I would like to see this underdog story having nice ending.

Yes, I think Sweden is a stronger team than Australia, if the Swedish women can put up with the way they played against Spain, they will definitely take the third position. I also noticed that Sweden has a higher winning percentage than Australia and that the betting Odds rates on various casino platforms are lower for Sweden and higher for Australia. And if Sweden plays against Australia in the way that Sweden played against Spain, then Sweden will beat Australia by a huge margin. But it is not so easy to predict but if we have a lot of difference in players between two teams which team will play well they will be the only one who will win and occupy the third place.

It is very difficult for me to determine what could happen, because this third place match was for me the final of the women's world cup, now as I am seeing the girls' matches, their possible formations, I am not able to give an opinion. , because the Australians play very well, in fact the technique that they do is somewhat strange, but I like it, it's like a unique style, I like what they do because with the technical aspect they can do great things, just like They showed them, I think that many did not have much faith in these girls, but look, now they are arranging for a third place, when I know that many did not give much for it or believe that they could do something, however, I do not like girls from Sweden, because they have a stronger line-up, I see them play soccer in an impressive way, they can shine more, the truth is, I was really surprised when they lost, but hey, that's what soccer is all about.

Clearly for me there are many differences between the soccer of the men's teams and the women's, because the girls from Brazil play very well, as well as the Germans, in fact I think that many believed that those who were going to reach the In the end, it was the girls from the USA and the Germans, because at least I have seen many posts by the girls on social networks, they are the ones that appear the most, I am honest, I do not follow women's soccer much, I like to see more than all because they are very beautiful girls, it is what basically entertains me and yes, also the sense of how they play, how they treat the ball, I have had the opportunity to play on a normal court on the street with a girl who is a Colombian national team, who is not in the world championship category still, and I like how they do the feints, they are very similar to those of men, only they look a little more fragile, however I like to see that effort, 'because they play very well, but they are not so rude, I imagine because they are women and they don't have that shocking style, of doing everything more Abruptly.

Despite being a, shall we say.... melancholic match, in fact third place is still something that needs to be decided in many championships and the FIFA World Cup is one of them.
I like the third place decisions as much as the finals, because they usually have more goals than the championship final itself. And look at this... who loses the final and takes second place still wins at least one medal, but who loses the decision for third place gets what? For this reason that the decision for third place is practiced with a lot of vigor and desire for victory, the disappointment of the previous defeat is always filled with the desire to conquer third place.

On the other hand, there are those who think the opposite, but also in a positive way.... believing that it is a more beautiful game because the skills are demonstrated more calmly, the nervousness of the players is less because there are "less things at stake", so both teams tend to play more openly, without worrying so much about losing.

Anyway... the third place needs to be disputed and the desire to win prevails for both teams.

The match is going to take place at Brisbane. So obviously Australia will be having the home advantage. But then, you can't take Sweden lightly. They managed to defeat Japan and the United States in the knockout phase of the tournament. Odds are in favor of Australia and I believe they are going to win. Anyway, it is quite encouraging for the Asian/African teams. Previously the teams from CONMEBOL and UEFA used to dominate the tournament, but that situation is gradually changing. Australia had ensured Asian representation in the semi-finals.

[Majestic-milf]

 The game between Sweden vs Australia was suppose to be the finals for me but having both teams going head to head for the third place just got me mute, I couldn't say which team is going to win but I wish both teams good luck. If there's a way for both teams to win in this encounter I would be glad but football doesn't work that way .
 Sweden style of play really match the Australia style of play, so I'd say both teams are going to get on each others 18 yard box more and taking chances, this might even end up in a penalty shootout the way I see it.

[Xxmodded]

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 for third place between Sweden vs Australia, looks Sweden have bigger chance winning for 3rd place than Australia but both national want to get third position standing after failure lead to final stage. Australia conceded three goals in semifinal stage after defeating by England and Sweden conceded fewest goal than Australia after losing 2-1 from Spain.
Sweden has more impressive performance than Australia from group stage with all winning matches and get draw on 16 round from United State but success win trough penalty kick. but disappointed when defeating by Spain in semifinal stage and Sweden one close forward will lead to final and get 3rd standings is their motivate in FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.

[noormcs5]

Some teams really don't like playing the game for third place, as they're disappointed to have missed out on the chance for the grand final
But in the last men's World Cup, Croatia played with great determination and managed to win third place, an example of good soccer and respect for their team and fans

I believe, and I've already said it, that Australia should play with all their energy, since they'll be in front of their home fans, and finishing with a win would be very good and very honorable. As I said, it's an attitude of respect towards the fans who pay for tickets and go to the stadium or support them in any other way

There's also a motivating factor: the third-place prize is a little better:
4th place = US$ 2.455 million
3rd place = US$ 2.61 million


My bet is on Australia, but I haven't decided on the champion yet

I think another motivation factor apart from the home ground or the prize money is that 3rd place standing in itself. When to go down in the history and see the stats for the previous world cup, you will find that this team and that team ended up in 3rd place. No one talks about the team attaining 4th place.

In a tournament as big as a world cup, 3rd place should not be ignored and must be fought in order to earn this place.

My bet is on Australia, but I haven't decided on the champion yet

When you place a bet on any team, the chances of that team winning increases

If Sweden can display what they displayed that made Spain to manage to defeated them in this match, I think they will win third position in this FIFA women's world cup to make their country happy. Based on the strategy Sweden players are using in this season, show that Australia cannot withstand them in this match because their strikers are talented strikers that know how to create space to achieve goals that will bring victory at the end of the match, which I believe they will definitely use those strategies in this match to disgrace their opponent. Since Australia defense is not too strong in their semi-final that made their opponent to defeated them 3-1, show there is no hope for them to win this third position in the FIFA women's world cup 2023.

Big opportunities probably won't really affect the match for third place later because there are many influencing factors, Sweden has better achievements than Australia where if Australia manages to become third place it will be the best achievement they have ever achieved in women's football while Sweden already has several achievements. they even got to the final of the women's world cup only to lose to Germany in extra time.
Australia will also be more motivated because they are playing in front of their own public and as hosts it would be nice if they could get third place even if not a title.
It is possible that Sweden will field some of their reserve players because indeed the third place match is not as prestigious as the contest for the title.

Australia women's team was one of the favorites going into the tournament but unfortunately they lost against England which did not fulfill their dreams of reaching the final. I would like to put Australia slightly ahead of Sweden for third place as they missed out on the finals so third place is very important to them. I have been impressed by Australia's defensive performance in this tournament, they protect their defense and then attack the opposition's attack which is a very positive aspect for them. The positive side for Sweden is that they have a good counter attack which can give them a lead at any time. Considering these two aspects, both teams are strong in both aspects, so the third place can be decided by any team.

[Woodie]

I wonder..which of the two teams were you backing to go all the way, hope you aren't from Australia and you were looking forward to seeing Sweden reach the finals 

Otherwise was equally disappointed that Sweden was left to fight for a position in a third and fourth position , when their calibre should have seen them play the finals after eliminating USA and Japan who were two strong teams...guess football remains to be unpredictable ATM.
For 3rd and 4th, I see Sweden 🇸🇪  coming out 3rd here and Australia 🇦🇺  getting 4th position position unless the Matildas want to end their campaign on a high note they could go for the 3rd place finish.

Prediction Sweden 2-1 Australia 🇦🇺

Prediction Sweden 2-1 Australia 🇦🇺

I agree. Australia was the totally unexpected team to reach this stage of the World Cup. Usually, these teams end up not having great games for third-fourth place.

It is true that Sweden will be more discouraged than Australia and that is a disadvantage. And it's also true that Australia plays at home, and will have full support from their fans. Despite that, I think Sweden wins because it has been more stable throughout the World Cup, and Australia is in a downward phase.

Prediction Sweden 2-1 Australia 🇦🇺

The Australia Women Team vs Sweden Women Team match has started right now. We will see either of the two teams in the third position, whoever can perform better will occupy the third position. Although today the Sweden women's team has the most supporters to win and various platforms I have seen play for more wins in Sweden. So now it is not possible to predict for sure if Australia plays well all the players then there will definitely be a tough fight between the two teams. If the Swedish women's team can attack well with their opponents in the match, then surely Sweden will win, but I expect to see Australia in third place.

Undoubtedly, Australia were the least expected team among all the teams that reached the semi finals of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup but judging by their performance in this year's edition of the competition, they rightly deserve to be here.
They play their 3rd/4th place play-off today against Sweden who are on papers a better side than the Assies which why many thinks they'll beat Australia but with the support of the home fans, I think Australia is gonna win the bronze.

[Patrol69]

Sweden and Australia are already playing against each other for third place, so far 10 minutes have passed but neither team has been able to score. Australia placed more emphasis on defending itself against attack. In today's match, Australia has arranged the players in 4-4-2 format, on the contrary, Sweden has played defensively and has done some offensive field setup because Sweden's field setup against Australia is 4-2-3-1. So far Sweden is ahead of Australia in terms of attacking accurate ball pass, pass accuracy and Sweden has already managed to score against a short Australia.
A single early goal can turn any team's momentum around. Whichever team scores first, after scoring a goal they must try to defend their own goal post.
