Sweden are ranked second in the world whereas Belgium are down in 19th so on paper this should be a regulation win for the Swedes.
But the Belgium front line is potent with Tine de Caigny particularly catching the eye in this tournament.
Belgium have never been this far in the Women's Euros so they have nothing to lose with all the pressure on Sweden. Will we see an upset tonight?
Sweden v Belgium (20:00 BST)
Belgium boss Ives Serneels: "We've already secured our first objective, which was qualifying for the quarter-finals.
"But that does not mean that now we will not have a fighting mentality. We did not come this far to give it away.
"It's hard to say what kind of game we will have. We are ready and everybody is fit in team Belgium, so I'll bring the strongest team. But we'll see how it goes."

Sweden coach Peter Gerhardsson: “Belgium are a well organised team both defensively and offensively.
"They are maybe the team of all the ones that we are going to meet that are most like a league [club] team, because you can see that they have spent a lot of time together.
“I hope we can continue with the things we’ve done. We have done very well defensively in all three games but the attacking play didn’t click as much until we played against Portugal. Hopefully we can keep working on that.”

I just overheard a conversation between a male Swedish fan and some England supporters on the way to Leigh Sports Village.
He has followed Sweden’s men’s team for 10 years but this is his first women’s match he’s watching live.
“I thought, we’re quite good. I should leave the kids with the wife… fun!” he joked.

Belgium had only made one change to their team before today - but now it's up to four.
England are the only team at the Euros who haven't made a single change to their starting XI from game to game.

Sweden are missing their most capped player Caroline Seger who has been receiving treatment for a heel injury and only makes the bench. They make two changes, both in defence.
Sweden XI: Lindahl, Nilden, Eriksson, Sembrant, Ilestedt, Bjorn, Asllani, Angeldahl, Rolfo, Blackstenius, Rytting Kaneryd.

This is Belgium's first ever knockout game in a major tournament.
The only other one they have ever qualified for was Euro 2017, when they lost in the group stages.

In true British summer weather style, we've gone from needing cooling breaks in matches in the early part of the week because of the heatwave to rain jackets.
It's a drizzly evening in Leigh but the fans who were heading into the ground did not seem to care.
They were full of excitement and anticipation as their teams have the chance to play hosts England in the semi-final.

Everybody thought England were going to bypass Spain and Germany were going to blow Austria away.
We've now seen how close and competitive European football is, so Sweden won't be going into the game complacent.
They are expected to win but it isn't going to be an easy game.
Given that Belgium have progressed, they've got nothing to lose. Sweden are very good and I would expect them to win, but I don't think they're going to win by a massive amount.

Fans of the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland and Belgium have helped make it a summer like no other for the Greater Manchester town over the past couple of weeks.
"I have to be honest and say I had not really heard of Leigh before Euro 2022," said Daan Schippers of the Dutch Football Association before the Netherlands played Portugal here last week.
Critics argue more tickets for Euro 2022 could have been sold more if larger grounds other than Leigh Sports Village - which has a tournament capacity of 7,800 - had hosted matches instead.
However, Leigh resident David Wands believes the tournament has helped shine a positive spotlight on the town.
"It's fantastic for the town to have these matches," he says. "Leigh is probably a rugby league town because of its history, but it has really embraced women's football."
