International friendly preview – England vs Australia prediction

The England squad will be strengthened by the return of Manchester United and Liverpool players who missed the International friendly against Turkey due to cup final duties. Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge are expected walk into the starting eleven against Australia while Marcus Rashford can expect an opportunity to catch Roy Hodgson’s eye at some point in proceedings. Chris Smalling, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne will also be hopeful of a run out. Jamie Vardy gets married on Wednesday and will miss the game.

The match does not take place on a FIFA international date and Australia will be without a number of experienced players as Asian clubs refused to release Socceroo regulars Tim Cahill, Trent Salisbury, Mathew Spiranovic and Nathan Burns. Jason Geria won’t be risked with Melbourne Victory playing in the AFC Champions League. Ange Postecoglou made nine changes to the squad that defeated Tajikistan and Jordan in March and it will be a youthful, inexperienced Australia side that takes on England on Friday.

Possible Line-ups

England 4-3-3 formation: Hart; Clyne, Cahill, Smalling, Rose; Wilshere, Dier, Alli; Lallana, Kane, Rooney

Australia 4-3-3 formation: Ryan; Risdon, Wilkinson, Wright, Behich; Luongo, Jedinak, Mckay; Mauk, Maclaren, Goodwin

England vs Australia Prediction

The English FA lined up some challenging fixtures for after the national side qualified for Euro2016 with a 100% record. They had been beaten by Spain and Netherlands either side of victories against France and Germany before these final three warm-up games. Roy Hodgson’s team became the first to defeat Turkey in 14 matches in the first of three games before heading to France next month. Australia are focused on making it to the next World Cup and qualification is already underway and the Socceroos have won 7 of 8 games in their Asian qualifying group. They have played twice this year, defeating Tajikistan 7-0 and Jordan 5-1 but are forced into making changes to the regular side due the timing of the game at the Stadium of Light. Australia will blood some of their youngsters who will have a go here and it could be a high-scoring game with a number of England players having something to prove.
