    Canada, meanwhile, won bronze at the last two Olympics Games, therefore reaching this final will already be seen as a huge achievement, especially having beaten favourites USA in the semis. Can they surprise everybody and snatch gold today?
  • PRVW
    Sweden will be hoping to go one better than the 2016 Olympics, when they lost the final 2-1 against Germany and thus narrowly missed out on gold.
