Hege Riise’s Team GB face Bev Priestley’s Canada on Tuesday in their final group stage game, with both sides looking to top the group.
Unbeaten in the group stage, having won against Chile and Japan last week, GB will hope to continue their perfect record against a tough Canadian outfit, having already secured a place in the knockout stage.
Manchester City striker Ellen White has been clinical in front of goal so far during the tournament and will undoubtedly be looking to add to her tally of three goals as Riise’s team set their sights on a possible podium finish.
Her 74th-minute strike against Japan was enough to secure qualification for the knockout stages with one game to spare.
The 32-year old is currently joint fourth in the golden boot race and with GB expected to progress towards the latter stages of the competition, that tally should only continue to increase.
With Canada needing at least a point to guarantee a place in the knockout stage, Priestley’s threatening attack will look to break down GB’s strong defensive line.
However, the likes of Lucy Bronze, Rachel Daly and Steph Houghton have so far not let in a single goal during the first two games and have been superb defensively.
Canadian record goal-scorer Christine Sinclair and Janine Beckie will spearhead the attack and look to break Ellie Roebuck’s run of clean sheets.
If GB succeed, they will face a third-placed nation in the knockout round and would have what is considered to be a more favoured route to the final.
With a whole wealth of talent going forward and a backline who have looked strong so far, Riise’s side will certainly be fancied to come away with the three points.
