Peter Gerhardsson chooses at the same time to at least initially bet on the experienced first goalkeeper Jennifer Falk, despite it being the last chance for the possible substitutes Emma Holmgren and Tove Enblom to make their national team debut.

In the attack, Madelen Janogy gets to start as expected in Fridolina Rolfö's absence due to injury.

Sweden's starting eleven (4–3–3): Jennifer Falk – Smilla Holmberg, Nathalie Björn, Magdalena Eriksson, Jonna Andersson – Filippa Angeldahl, Kosovare Asllani, Hanna Bennison – Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Stina Blackstenius, Madelen Janogy.

Substitutes: Emma Holmgren, Tove Enblom, Linda Sembrant, Hanna Lundkvist, Amanda Nildén, Lina Hurtig, Sofia Jakobsson, Amanda Ilestedt, Julia Zigiotti Olme, Ellen Wangerheim, Rebecka Blomqvist, Matilda Vinberg.
