Australia ended England's 30-game winning streak in a 2-0 victory in April. Can they manage a similar performance in Sydney?
The Matildas play in their semi-final on Wednesday night at 8pm against England's Lionesses.This will be the first time the teams face each other in a World Cup.
England know what it's like to win a major tournament at home, having lifted the Euros trophy in July 2022. The Matildas can emulate the famous United States team of 1999 and win the Women's World Cup on home soil, football icon Brandi Chastain says. "They have a very complementary starting XI, maybe first 15 players. But they have a full roster that is experienced.
Australia coach Tony Gustavsson wouldn't be drawn into who were the favourites for the match but made comments on Tuesday suggesting Australia might be the underdogs.
