After three rounds of group stages, the women's Olympic football now gets to the most exciting part. Only four teams were eliminated in the group stages (Zambia, China, Chile, and New Zealand), and eight others advanced to the quarter. One of the most balanced and toughest encounters is definitely Great Britain against Australia. Two good teams are seeking to leave with a medal from these Olympic Games. Unfortunately, only one team will get through and still have a chance to get a medal. It will not be easy for either of the teams. Great Britain comes to this match as the leader of group E with 7 points after winning 2-0 against Chile, 1-0 against Japan, and drawing 1-1 in the last round versus Canada. It was a tough group for Australia, seeing that they faced the number one contenders for the gold medal - the USA, the current World Champions, alongside insidious Sweden and New Zealand. They managed to finish third and qualify as the top two teams of the third-placed ones. A win 2-1 versus New Zealand, a 4-2 defeat against Australia, and a 1-1 draw against the USA was enough for them to qualify with 4 points. Now begins an entirely different story as the knock-out phase begins. No mistakes are allowed as they can be very costly. Both teams will look to advance and go through. Let the best team win.
Head to head matches

Injury updates
