Sweden have won their last two Women's World Cup quarter-finals.

They have scored in all 13 of their knockout matches.

Germany have not conceded at this World Cup yet. But that does not worry Sweden boss Peter Gerhardsson, who took charge after Euro 2017.

”They are very skillful in many ways, but I don't think that clean sheet record would exist if other teams had been more effective with their chances.

"It's not like teams haven't had any chances against them. We have seen possibilities in how we can hurt them and how other teams have hurt them even if they haven't scored."

Germany boss Martina Voss-Tecklenburg only took charge of her country in November.

Horst Hrubesch had helped the Germans qualify for the World Cup during his interim spell.

"From a coaching point of view, we are expecting a very intense and interesting game," said former Switzerland boss Voss-Tecklenburg.

"Most of the time we are used to having a one-goal difference and it shows where the two teams are from a quality level point of view.

"It will be an equal-to-equal match, we have to see who will make fewer mistakes or who will optimise most on the mistakes of the opponent.

"We also need a bit of luck, but they will also and we have to stay on course, stay focused because we know that in this kind of situation, it can change very quickly at this stage of the tournament.''

Germany have reached the quarter-final at all eight Women's World Cups. Only the USA have also done that.

But their last two quarter-finals went to extra time. They lost 1-0 to Japan in 2011 and beat France on penalties in 2015.

National anthems time. There has never been a round of Women's World Cup quarter-finals without Germany.

The weather is about 31C in Rennes at the moment.

Sweden defender Hanna Glas, who plays in France for Paris St-Germain, said: "We have trained outside in the heat in the middle of the day, so it's good to have tested that.

"It’s always hard to play when it’s this warm, but it’s the same for everyone, so you can only make the best of the situation."

We're going to have water breaks.

They are two of the best teams in the world. They have faced each other many times and a strong team is going to get knocked out.

The winners of this game qualify for next year's Olympics - alongside Great Britain and the Netherlands.

Germany are the defending champions, beating Sweden in the 2016 final. But only one of them will be in Tokyo.

Germany have beaten Sweden in four major finals, including the 2003 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

They also knocked them out of the last World Cup, in the last 16.

Sweden have not beaten them in a major tournament since 1995.

"We are tired of hearing about this German ghost," said Sweden's Chelsea defender Magdalena Eriksson.

Coach Peter Gerhardsson said: "It's history. We have new players now. We'll be looking at when we played them in April, and at how Germany played their last three matches."

At that time it was feared she could miss the entire World Cup.

She's on the bench today.
