Women's World Cup 2023: What to expect on Day 10

One of the most anticipated games of the group stages takes place on Day 10 of the Women's World Cup as France take on Brazil at the Brisbane Stadium.

It's an action packed day on Saturday, which begins with another mouthwatering encounter as Sweden meet Italy at the Wellington Regional Stadium.

Both teams are level on three points but Sweden top the group on number of goals scored thanks to their 2-1 win over South Africa in their opener, while Italy beat Argentina 1-0.

"We are about to play against a team that is a very high level, that is well rounded," Italy coach Milena Bertolini said. "They have a physical intensity but they are also very technical, so it's the whole package."

A confident Brazil side will look to build on their dazzling World Cup opener, while France aim to kick-start their campaign when the two meet in this blockbuster clash, where a win would assure the South Americans a last-16 spot.

Eighth-ranked Brazil were at their fluent best as they thrashed tournament debutants Panama 4-0 but will face a tougher test against the world's fifth best team France, who were held to a goalless draw by Jamaica in their Group F opener.

France beat Brazil 2-1 in extra time in the last 16 of their home World Cup in 2019. However, this time in Brisbane, France could be without the injured Wendie Renard in defence and a defeat would put them on the brink
