Gareth Southgate’s England are back in international soccer action on Friday, as they look to continue their excellent form this calendar year. Australia will be the visitors to Wembley this weekend, as they look for just a second victory over the Three Lions.
Before Betting On England vs Australia
Gareth Southgate will be aware that England’s job in terms of gaining qualification for the EUROs next summer is almost complete. The Three Lions could secure their passage through to the major tournament next week with a victory at Wembley against Italy. However, the England coach will likely test out potential systems in this international friendly against Australia on Friday.
England have been in excellent form since exiting the World Cup at the quarterfinal stage last year, as they have won five of their six international matches. They produced one of their best displays of the year in their most recent fixture, as the Three Lions powered to victory against Scotland at Hampden Park. Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, and Harry Kane all found the net in that win.
Australia surpassed expectations at the 2022 World Cup, as they reached the round of 16, before falling against future champions Argentina. Their performances over the last 12 months have been extremely encouraging, which includes victories over both Denmark and Ecuador.
However, they will be looking to get back on track after a disappointing international break in September. But, there is every reason to suggest that they could pose issues for England in the attacking third based on their recent 2-2 draw against Mexico in September.
