Finally we can compare Blank to other international teams. I wouldn't be surprised if they win this one I think it'll be close.

2-2 or Sweden 3-1

Result effects on group standings:

Sweden 4:0 Australia means Sweden take 1st in group.
Sweden 3:1 Australia means that it's a tie for first place in group

Australia taking 2 maps or more means that Australia lock in 1st in group

On a side-note if Australia 4:0 Sweden and Portugal 4:0 Italy it would mean that Sweden and Portugal would be tied for 2nd place as well.

Sweden and Australia are the stars of this group but Sweden 2-2 with Portugal and Australia 4-0 against Portugal so if we take that in to consideration Australia should have the most odds on this match

Yeah, on that note Sweden just need to win one map to guarantee a top two finish and a shot at the qualifier, but if they do end up getting 4-0'd AND Portugal 4-0 Italy we're looking at a Bo3 tiebreaker, on Oasis I believe.

I don't really know how to quantify Sweden's strength relative to the hometown Aussies right now, but here's my stab at it:

3-1 for BLANKstralia

Sweden brings their A game. Blankstralia ties with Swefits 2-2.

3-1 for BLANKstralia

If Sweden 3:1 Australia it would also lead to a tie for 1st place, so there's two potential scenarios for ties in group C at the moment, SWE/AUS for 1st and SWE/PRT for 2nd.

4-0 Fusion Girls

did the matches get shifted back a bit for some reason?

think its gonna be close.... 2-2 looks more than possible

if Sweden lose 0-4 and Portugal win 4-0 they'll be tied, and they drew their match so what are the tiebreaker scenarios?

e: apparently it's a bo3 on Oasis

Why should there be a tie if Sweden 3-1s Australia, they would lead in direct comparison.

Also I think it will be either 3-1, 2-2, or 1-3, so Sweden will advance.

why so late

Wouldn't be a tie. Sweden wins the tiebreaker by having a 2-0-1 map record vs Australia's 2-1-0, on top of having won the head to head.

why so late

It's only 11:30am in Sydney. Prime time here in NZ at 1:30pm

For anyone in AUS this game is live on 7mate (73)

Portugal confirmed out now, right?

I'd feel bad if Australia lose on TV but Sweden is a formidable opponent so i don't espect a 4-0 from AUS

hmmm, I really wasn't expecting the Swedes to be able to even tie this one. Usually I'd say the pre-formed team would have the advantage. Surprised to see Australia isn't performing better, though I think they'll still tie this one up 2-2. Good play out of the Swedes so far.

Well played to both sides! Very close through the last two matches for sure.
