Argentina faces a challenging task as they aim to progress to the knockout phase of the Women's World Cup (WWC) for the first time in their history. Despite showing resilience in their recent match against South Africa by coming from 2-0 down to secure a draw, they need a win against Sweden to keep their WWC journey alive, and even that might not be enough if Italy beats South Africa.

Head coach Germán Portanova has taken over from Carlos Borrello, who led the team in three previous WWC appearances. Portanova has admirably led the team to a third-place finish in the Copa América Femenina last year and secured five wins in six friendlies in 2023, including victories against current WWC co-hosts New Zealand.

Facing Sweden in a do-or-die fixture is not an ideal scenario for Argentina, especially considering they have never won a WWC match before. Sweden, on the other hand, has already booked their place in the last 16 with a comeback win against South Africa and a dominant 5-0 victory over Italy.

Under the guidance of Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden seems capable of replicating or even surpassing their impressive run to the 2003 final when they finished as runners-up to Germany. Gerhardsson previously led the team to a third-place finish in the 2019 WWC and the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Championship in the following year.

For Argentina to stand a chance against Sweden, they may need to rely on the prolific goal-scoring abilities of Romina Núñez, who scored a crucial equalizer against South Africa and showed her prowess by netting 16 times in just ten league appearances for UAI Urquiza last season. On the other side, Sweden's Fridolina Rolfö has already proven her impact in the tournament by scoring in both of Sweden's previous games.

While Argentina will undoubtedly put up a fight, the odds are in favor of Sweden, who seem to have the momentum and the firepower to secure another victory. As the two teams clash, fans can expect an intense battle with both sides eager to achieve their respective goals in the WWC.

阿根廷队的目标是历史上首次进入女足世界杯淘汰赛阶段，她们面临着一项艰巨的任务。尽管在最近与南非的比赛中表现出了韧性，在0 - 2落后的情况下锁定平局，但他们需要战胜瑞典才能保住世界杯之旅，如果意大利击败南非，这可能还不够。

主教练Germán波尔塔诺娃接替了卡洛斯·博雷洛，后者曾带领球队参加过三次世界杯赛。波尔塔诺瓦令人钦佩地带领球队在去年的美洲杯上获得了第三名，并在2023年的6场友谊赛中取得了5场胜利，其中包括战胜现任世界杯赛联合东道主新西兰队。

在生死攸关的比赛中面对瑞典对阿根廷来说并不是一个理想的场景，特别是考虑到他们之前从未赢得过世界杯赛。另一方面，瑞典队已经凭借逆转南非和5:0大胜意大利的胜利，锁定了16强席位。

在彼得·格哈德松的指导下，瑞典似乎有能力复制甚至超越他们在2003年世界杯决赛中以亚军的身份击败德国队的辉煌战绩。此前，格哈德森曾带领球队在2019年世界女足锦标赛中获得第三名，并在次年的欧洲女足锦标赛中进入半决赛。

对于阿根廷队来说，他们可能需要依靠罗米纳Núñez的高产进球能力，他在对阵南非的比赛中打进了关键的扳平比分，并在上赛季UAI Urquiza的10次联赛出场中打进16球，展示了她的实力。另一方面，瑞典队的弗里多利娜Rolfö已经在瑞典队之前的两场比赛中都取得了进球，证明了她在比赛中的影响力。

虽然阿根廷无疑会奋力一搏，但瑞典队的胜算更大，他们似乎有足够的动力和火力确保再次夺冠。随着两支队伍的交锋，球迷们可以期待一场激烈的战斗，双方都渴望在WWC中实现各自的目标。
