One of the most highly anticipated matches of the group stages will be seen in Group F, as heavyweights France and Brazil battle it out at Brisbane Stadium.
Brazil were one of the top performers in the first round of matches, as an Ary Borges hat-trick helped them to a 4-0 win over debutants Panama in Adelaide.
France on the other hand struggled against Jamaica, lacking a threat up front and being held to a 0-0 draw, and now have injury concerns facing talismanic captain Wendie Renard.
Fans from around the world will be tuning into this one, with two superstar sides fighting it out to have the best chance of topping Group F and avoiding a potential Round of 16 matchup with Germany.

France vs Brazil lineups
France, who already have three star players missing this tournament due to injury, have been handed a further blow, with captain Wendie Renard picking up a calf injury which could see her miss the crucial match against Brazil.
Elisa de Almeida would be the most likely candidate to replace her at centre-back.
- France projected starting lineup (4-4-2): Peyraud-Magnin (GK) — Lakrar, de Almeida, Cascarino, Karchaoui — Becho, Geyoro, Toletti, Majri — Le Sommer, Diani.
Brazil have no such issues, with their comfortable victory allowing them to rotate their side against Panama, ensuring they will have fresh legs.
Marta will most likely be an impact player off the bench, with Ary Borges and Debinha carrying the attack.
- Brazil projected starting lineup (4-4-2): Leticia (GK) — Antonia, Lauren, Rafaelle, Tamires — Borges, Kerolin, Luana, Leal — Beatriz, Debinha.
