Matildas v England betting predictions

Australia v England WWC semifinal preview

The Matildas’ chase for FIFA Women’s World Cup glory continues on Wednesday night as they face England at Stadium Australia in the semifinals.

Australia’s quarterfinal clash with France last Saturday night was a tense affair that went goalless through both regular time and extra time. As a result, the match headed to penalties, where after 10 kicks each, the deadlock was finally broken as Cortnee Vine scored the winner to take Australia through as 7-6 winners. The player of the match was Matildas keeper Mackenzie Arnold, who had five saves during the match and another three during the shootout.

England faced Colombia in their quarterfinal, coming from behind to win 2-1. After dominating possession and having the clearer opportunities in the first half, the Brits fell behind just before half time. However, with the final kick of the first half, England took back the lead thanks to forward Lauren Hemp. A 63rd-minute goal from Alessia Russo gave England the lead as they held on until full time.

At 10th in the world, the Matildas are now the lowest-ranked team left in the competition; however, with home-ground advantage through every game, they have already knocked out the higher-ranked Canada and France.

England have looked very impressive so far in this tournament, scoring 10 goals while conceding just two. However, they were shaky in the round of 16, needing penalties to make it past Nigeria after a goalless draw.

With both sides making minimal changes in their last match, we can expect them both to stick with similar line-ups this Wednesday. The major question surrounding the Matildas is whether Sam Kerr will return to the starting line-up or remain on the substitutes’ bench as she has throughout the tournament.

England will still be missing star midfielder Lauren James for this match after the red card she received against Nigeria was upgraded to a two-game ban.

Matildas v England best bets

The last time these two sides played each other, the Matildas caused a major upset, winning 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in England. Hoping to repeat the upset this time, the Matildas return to Stadium Australia, where they will play in front of a sold-out home crowd. Look for the Matildas to carry on their momentum as they reach the Women’s World Cup final for the first time ever, paying $3.45 with Neds.

After some conservative football shown by both sides throughout the knockout stages so far, expect a low-scoring affair once again in this match. England have run with a three-at-the-back formation throughout this tournament, while Australia have regularly subbed on an extra centre-back to conserve a lead at the end of matches. With both sides only conceding two goals this tournament, expect a low-scoring contest with fewer than 2.5 total goals scored at $1.50 with top Women’s World Cup bookmakers.

Having missed much of the tournament so far due to injury, Australian star forward Sam Kerr has had limited impact in the matches she has played. With an extended return against France, look for Kerr to return to the starting line-up and play a major role for the Matildas. The all-time top scorer for the national side, we like Kerr to find the back of the net in this one at $3.50 with Palmerbet.
