Team News

Australia
Nigeria
  • Sam Kerr is ruled out of Australia's first two group games, which is a huge blow for the co-hosts.
  • Mary Fowler received a knock in training and will miss out.
  • Deborah Abiodun was sent off in the last match so misses this one. Oluwatosin Demehin is on a yellow card and would miss the final group game if she receives one here.

Prediction

  • Australia got off to a great start with a close fought 1-0 win against Republic of Ireland and did so without their star player Sam Kerr.
  • They have strength in depth in their squad to be able to cope with missing her for another game due to a calf injury, but will worry after scoring just the one goal.
  • Nigeria managed to hold Canada to a 0-0 draw and get a point on the board. This will be another close match and could possibly end in a score draw.
