The expert ahead of the semi-final against the USA: "Sweden has the chance"

On Saturday, the Swedish women's juniors will chase a final place in the JVM.

In the semi-finals, however, difficult opposition awaits in the USA.

SVT Sports expert Maria Rooth keeps the Americans as favorites, but does not rule out the Swedish chances.

- The USA is the best team, without a doubt.

But Sweden are good.

You need to have a goalkeeper who does his best and so it becomes important to achieve that in the power play, she says.

"Shown glowing"

Rooth says that the Swedes must believe in themselves in the match.

- There is of course a lot of respect for the USA, but if there is anything, it is this year.

Sweden has shown enthusiasm and drive in the team.

They have to believe that it is possible.

I give Sweden a 40 percent chance of victory.

The match starts at 16.00 and is broadcast on SVT1 and SVT Play.
