Match Preview
England have been one of the standout nations throughout EURO qualification to this point, and the Three Lions look on course to secure their passage through to the major tournament next week. Gareth Southgate’s side are unbeaten this calendar year since exiting the World Cup at the quarterfinal stage against France in Qatar.
England was in excellent form last month, as they landed a famous 3-1 away win against Scotland. Jude Bellingham was once again one of the standout players in that match, as he scored the second goal after Phil Foden’s opener. Harry Kane also continued his excellent form this term by netting the third in the 81st minute.

Australia enjoyed a solid 2022 World Cup, as they defied expectations to reach the round of 16 before falling to eventual winners Argentina. Since that defeat, the Aussies have won just once in four international matches, and they have gone two without a victory.
They were most recently in action last month, as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Mexico on the road. However, Australia should have won that clash in North America, as they found themselves 2-0 up after the hour mark after efforts from Harry Souttar and Martin Boyle. Defensively, there remains questions ahead of this international friendly.
England vs Australia Prediction
