It has been an entertaining campaign for both of these sides so far, with Sweden eventually topping a tough Group C ahead of record eight-time winners of the competition Germany, thanks to a surprise 4-1 hammering of the Germans. Paddy Power now rank the Swedes as 10/1 to win the tournament.
The Irish firm have England at 4/1 second favourites, despite their topsy turvy group stage, which started with a defeat to France.
The Lionesses hammered the Netherlands and then Wales to restore belief and appear to be hitting peak form at just the right time. Here's our take and predictions for England vs. Sweden.
Both Teams To Score (4/5, Skybet)
These two teams have been among the most attacking in Switzerland, with Sweden’s demolition of Germany showcasing their quality, especially when they get to the final third. As for England, the winners of this trophy three years ago have notched 11 goals in three games and with the likes of Lauren James beginning to click in this new-look England side we fancy them to hit the net again here. It could be tight, but we feel there will be goals at both ends.
England to win (1/1, SkyBet)
Call us patriotic but England have enough in the locker to win this one. Any doubts we had were cast aside by the performance against Netherlands and then the 6-1 rout of Wales. It's been a case of Jekyll and Hyde, after that really poor start against France, but winning major tournaments is about peaking at the right time. Do England have what it takes to win it all? We're still not sure, but they will make the semi-finals at least.

Sarina Wiegman made a tactical shift from the France to Netherlands games, with Lauren James back from a hamstring injury and moving back wide from a central role. That has majorly benefitted the Lionesses and it's likely that James will again be the fulcrum around England build their challenge.
