The Commonwealth Bank Matildas' final group stage match sees them face familiar opposition in Thailand.
At the last edition of the AFC Women's Asian Cup in 2018, Australia and Thailand met just before the tournament in a friendly and then again in the semi-final.
The team couldn't be separated after extra time with the score tied at two apiece.
It took penalties and some heroics from Mackenzie Arnold in goal to secure the Commonwealth Bank Matildas' passage to the final.
Now four years later, the teams meet once again. Australia is guaranteed qualification while Thailand has everything to fight for.
The Commonwealth Bank Matildas have so far enjoyed two wins - an 18-0 drubbing of Indonesia and a 4-0 victory over the Philippines.
Almost every player in the squad has been given some game time meaning Holly McNamara and Cortnee Vine made their debuts while the likes of Sam Kerr and Emily van Egmond are in fine scoring form.
