England vs Australia: Prediction, kick-off, Lionesses team news, odds, h2h
The Lionesses are still unbeaten under Sarina Wiegman, a run that was stretched to 30 matches after victory over the USA on penalties at Wembley last week, and they continue to strengthen their credentials ahead of this summer’s tournament, which Australia will host with New Zealand.
Resilience was required against Brazil, and Wiegman has emphasised that she wants her side to be “challenged again” against Australia at the Gtech Community Stadium, home of Brentford.
Australia fell to a shock defeat to Scotland last time out, and will be looking for a swift response against the Lionesses.
Date, kick-off and venue
England vs Brazil is scheduled for a 7.45pm BST kick-off tomorrow, Tuesday April 11, 2023.
The Gtech Community Stadium in London will host.

Sam Kerr will likely start for Australia at the Gtech Community Stadium
/ The FA via Getty ImagesCaitlin Foord and Alanna Kennedy remain out for Australia, but Sam Kerr will almost certainly come back into the starting lineup.
The Chelsea striker was rested in the defeat to Scotland and her return will be a huge boost for the Matildas as she looks to add to her tally of 62 international goals.
England vs Australia prediction
England continue to answer any questions asked of them under Wiegman, even on the rare occasions when they have come under pressure and been forced to respond.
Kerr will ensure Australia offer a real threat up front, but the Lionesses have the quality and the confidence to keep the winning feeling going.
England to win, 3-1.
