Australia vs England betting odds
With both teams already being involved in penalty shootouts this tournament and also having strong defences, there is a great chance this semifinal could go the distance.
England are marginal favourites in this one due to their depth, as well as Australia suffering from potential fatigue after their gruelling quarterfinal against France and a lack of rotation.
But the co-hosts are experiencing unprecedented levels of support and are riding on the crest of a huge wave right now; so while England will be the safe bet, there will be many taking a chance on the Matildas continuing their magic carpet ride all the way to the final.
