England and Australia meet once again on Tuesday, October 28, in Derby for their eighth-ever clash. A rivalry that’s grown sharper since the unforgettable World Cup semi-final in 2023.

The Lionesses come into this friendly on the back of a 2-1 loss to Brazil, eager to rediscover their rhythm under Sarina Wiegman. So, England will look to reassert their dominance against an opponent they’ve beaten four times in seven meetings.

The Matildas, meanwhile, arrive with momentum after edging Wales 2-1 last weekend. Joe Montemurro’s side has moved on from the 2023 heartbreak, when Sam Kerr’s wonder strike briefly reignited hope before England pulled away 3-1. Expect another high-intensity contest between two of women’s football’s fiercest modern rivals.
