July 19
Italy v France - 13:00 Local Time (19:00 GMT)
Italy hold a perfect record and will look to extend their winning streak. However, they are likely to face their most difficult game so far when they meet France - even if their European rivals only just squeezed into the last eight with a nail-biting victory against Croatia.
Japan v USA - 15:30 Local Time (21:30 GMT)
Japan come into this matchup having set a new assists record in the Round of 16 and will be looking to Sara Yamada to continue pulling the strings. But they face a daunting task to advance to the Semi-Finals against a dominant USA team showing no signs of slowing down.
Spain v Australia - 18:00 Local Time (00:00 GMT on July 20)
On paper this could be an epic contest, since both teams are capable of landing on the podium. However, one team's medal dreams will soon be extinguished. Spain are still unbeaten, with the Sapphires having only experienced a loss against title holders USA.
Finland v Canada - 20:30 Local Time (2:30 GMT on July 20)
First-timers Finland have made the last eight on their debut appearance in the competition and will be looking to take more historical steps. They will face a tough challenge against Canada, who caught fire early and have still not tasted defeat in the tournament.
