The first spot in Sunday’s final is on the line Tuesday as Sweden, who knocked out the two-time defending champion United States on penalty kicks in the Round of 16, takes on Spain at Eden Park in New Zealand. While the winner will advance to the championship match on Sunday, the losing team will take the pitch Saturday in the third-place match.

Spain vs. Sweden
Filippa Angeldahl’s goal from the spot in the 51st minute was the eventual game-winner in Sweden’s 2-1 win over Japan in the quarterfinals. Six different players have scored for the Swedish side in this year’s competition. If Sweden is to advance, they’ll have to slow down a Spanish attack that has outscored opponents 15-2 if you overlook the meaningless 4-0 loss to Japan once Spain had clinched a spot in the knockout round. This should be a tightly contested match that could come down to penalty kicks.
The Pick: Sweden (+156)
