AUS-W vs BEL-W
After sealing a berth in the FIH Pro League Grand Final, Australia Women will take on Belgium Women for a dead rubber. Four teams have already booked a spot in the Grand Final and this match is not going to make a difference in the standings. Australia Women sit on third spot of the points table with 9 wins in 14 matches and they confirmed their spot after defeating Germany in their last match. An early double strike by Jane Claxton helped Australia outplay Germany 3-1 in Krefeld.
Belgium, on the other hand, are out of contention of a place in the finals after their defeat to New Zealand by 3-0 in Antwerp. They finished on the fifth position after succumbing to New Zealand in their last match and missed the opportunity to enter the finals. The Belgian Red Panthers have won 5 out of 14 games and have a winning percentage of 42.86 per cent.
However, Australia would aim to win this match to gain some additional confidence before entering the finals.
