Australia vs England: Women’s World Cup prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds today

England battle Australia today with a place in the Women’s World Cup final against Spain up for grabs.

Sarina Wiegman’s side came from behind to beat Colombia in the last eight just hours after the Matildas had edged past France in an incredible penalty shootout at the weekend.

While the Lionesses have not always proven totally convincing during this tournament run so far, they boast big experience on this stage as the reigning European champions and the momentum is with them.

Beating the co-hosts, however, is some ask. Backed by a huge home support, it is a massive game with everything on the line. Spain await in Sunday’s final after Olga Carmona’s late heroics that condemned Sweden to the third-place play-off on Tuesday.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Australia vs England is scheduled for an 11am BST kick-off time today on Wednesday August 16, 2023.

The game will take place at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

Australia vs England prediction

England are playing themselves into the tournament. Neither team has quite been at their best so far but the England defence looks stronger at this point, while Kerr isn’t fully fit for Australia.

For that reason, Wiegman should feel confident of a place in Sunday’s final.

England to win, 2-1.
