Matildas vs Denmark: When, where, team news and how to watch in Australia

The Matildas will be desperate to get their Olympics preparation back on track when they face Denmark in a friendly on Friday morning (AEST).

New manager Tony Gustavsson began his tenure as Matildas boss with heavy defeats against Germany and Netherlands in April with his side conceding 10 goals across those two games. 

Denmark loom as slightly easier opposition for the green and gold, with the squad in need of some momentum building up to the Tokyo Games next month. 

Matildas vs Denmark match details

The Matildas have travelled to Horsens in Denmark for this friendly with Gustavsson's side desperate for a positive result. 

After over a year on the sidelines, Australia returned to action in April with a 5-2 loss against Germany and a 5-0 defeat against Netherlands. 

Denmark, meanwhile, managed to remain relatively active in 2020 and are undefeated across their past seven matches - winning five of those. 

The red and white are currently ranked 16th in the world but do boast a world-class talent in the form of Chelsea star Pernille Harder. 

The Matildas last faced Denmark in 2017 at the Algarve Cup with the match ending 1-1 before the Danes triumphed on penalties.
