England return to action at Pride Park on Tuesday, just days after a frustrating 2-1 defeat to Brazil.
The Lionesses, playing their first internationals since lifting the Euro 2024 trophy, have now conceded first in four straight matches. A trend Sarina Wiegman admitted is becoming a concern. Missing key players like Lauren Hemp, Lauren James, and captain Leah Williamson, England will again lean on Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone to find their attacking spark.
Australia arrive with better momentum after a 2-1 win over Wales, thanks to Caitlin Foord’s late strike. Joe Montemurro’s side has a near-full squad available, led by Sam Kerr and Mary Fowler, but consistency remains the biggest challenge. The Matildas have struggled to sustain their level against top opposition.
