SPAIN and Sweden face off in a thrilling Women’s World Cup semi-final – and the action unfolds TOMORROW.
La Roja has emerged as one of the favourites to lift the prestigious trophy after holders USA went crashing out of the tournament.
And Salma Paralluelo’s 111th minute strike against Netherlands in the quarter-finals proved that the Spaniards have the capability to dig deep when needs must.
However, the Swedes were the ones to send USA home and they followed that up by knocking out a high-scoring Japan side.
Furthermore, this is the fourth consecutive time Sweden have reached the semi-final, so they are loaded with experience.

However, Aitana Bonmati is expected to be fit despite also picking up a knock.
And Paralluelo, who dropped out of the side on Friday, could reclaim her spot up top.
Elsewhere, Sweden gaffer Peter Gerhardsson has no fresh injury concerns so he could be tempted into selecting the same side that edged past Japan.
