In a captivating showdown on August 16th, the 2023 Women's World Cup semi-finals will witness England pitted against Australia at ANZ Stadium. With England emerging victorious against Colombia and Australia securing their spot with a win over France, both teams are primed for an exhilarating clash.
The odds favour England to advance to the World Cup final over Australia, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter.
As the anticipation builds, England's potent offense, evidenced by their 10 goals in the tournament, clashes with Australia's solid defense, having allowed only three goals. Recent performances showcase England's resilience, as seen in their 2-1 win against Colombia despite being outshot.
Key players on both sides add intrigue. England's Lauren James and Lauren Hemp have been impactful scorers, while Australia's Caitlin Foord and Hayley Raso bring their own arsenal to the field. However, with James sidelined due to suspension, an opportunity emerges for the Matilda’s to capitalise on England’s suspended star.
With Australia hosting the tournament and a packed Aussie crowd anticipated to be in attendance. I’ll be taking Australia to Advance on Bet365 @$2.10.
