Canada's final match if group play is set for Monday morning, as the Canadians wrap up Group B action against Australia.
Bev Priestman's crew bounced back after 0-0 draw in its opener against Nigeria and beat the Republic of Ireland 2-1, giving the nation four points in the standings and second place in the standings behind Nigeria on goal difference.
All that Canada needs to secure its spot in the Round of 16 is either a win or draw against Australia. Whether Canada finishes first or second in the group will depend on the result from the Nigeria vs Ireland match, which takes place at the same time on Monday morning.
If Les Rouges were to lose, that does not necessarily mean the Canadians are out. However, their fate would be dictated by the Nigeria vs Ireland result. Meanwhile, Australia's best hope to advance is to beat the Canadians.
Here is how fans can watch the matchup between Canada and Australia.

Canada vs Australia lineups, team news
Midfielder Jessie Fleming is fit and back in a starting role, playing the full 90 minutes against Republic of Ireland last time out after missing their World Cup opener. The world's leading international goal scorer, 40-year-old Christine Sinclair, didn't start against Ireland, and has been wasteful in front of goal. It's hard to see her starting here, instead potentially used as a late spark if needed.
While head coach Bev Priestman resisted starting Cloe Lacasse last time out after a solid performance off the bench against Nigeria, she could be tempted to do so here after Jordyn Huitema and Adrianna Leon put in hard-working shifts in the first two matches. Evelyne Viens started last match up front, but was yanked at halftime and could also be a candidate to be withdrawn.
Both Canada's centre-backs, Kadeisha Buchanan and Vanessa Gilles, picked up yellow cards and would be suspended for a potential Round of 16 match should Les Rouges advance. Buchanan was withdrawn at halftime of the Ireland game, and depending on how Priestman sees this game, the speedy Shelina Zadorsky could be deployed.
Canada projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Sheridan (GK) — Riviere, Zadorsky, Gilles, Lawrence — Quinn, Fleming, Grosso — Leon, Lacasse, Huitema.

Sam Kerr has stated that she will be available to play against Canada as the Matildas are playing for their World Cup lives. The Australia coaching staff has been tight-lipped as ever regarding her health, and if she does start, her calf muscle will remain a talking point throughout the match.
Head coach Tony Gustavsson made just one change between Australia's first two matches, replacing the injured Mary Fowler with Emily van Egmond up front, and the latter is likely to stick in the XI after netting a goal against Nigeria. An unchanged side is likely despite the recent defeat.
Caitlin Foord is the only Aussie facing suspension with a booking in this or future matches as it currently stands.
Australia projected starting lineup (4-4-2): Arnold (GK) — Carpenter, Hunt, Kennedy, Catley — Raso, Gorry, Cooney-Cross, Vine — Foord, Van Egmond.
