The expert comments:
Sweden's chances:
- I would say that Sweden is the favorite, as always before a World Cup.
If you put on the blue and yellow jersey, you should win.
That's just the way it has always been.
There have been very small margins in the recent championships, and it will be tough now as well.
It is mainly four nations that will settle for it, with Finland being the biggest challenger.
But I think Sweden will take it home, and I would not be surprised if it is on penalties or in extension against Finland, says SVT expert Anna Wijk.
The Swedish squad:
- The squad contains nine World Cup debutants, and it is players who do very well in their club teams.
But doing it in a championship is something completely different.
While it is fun that Sweden is investing in many debutants, it is also a small question mark.
It is important that experienced players such as Emelie Wibron and Sofia Joelsson carry the team and bring their debutants with them.
A debutant that I am extra excited about is Cajsa Elm.
She has shown that she can perform when it comes to, and is a player who makes her teammates better.
Home ground - advantage or pressure:
- There may be extra pressure.
But regardless of home or not, only victories in the blue and yellow jersey count.
Then there are players such as Amanda Delgado Johansson and Klara Molin who will play the World Cup in their own home arena.
It's clear that it will be awesome for them to play in front of the whole family, and I hope they can lift it.
Amanda decided the final final on penalties, and has the nerves required.
The stars of the other teams:
- Finland's Vera Kauppi is probably the world's best player right now.
And together with their twin sisters Oona and My Kippilä, they have an incredibly good formation that Sweden must stop at in order to win gold.
Switzerland also has some sharp players in Michelle Wiki and Tanja Stella.
Czech Eliska Krupnova is also a player who stands out, says Anna Wijk.
