The Australian women's national football team, also known as the Matildas, will compete against Scotland in a friendly match scheduled to take place on Tuesday, the 9th of April at 4am AEST.
Preparation for the Match
The Matildas have been prepping for this friendly match against Scotland under the guidance of Head Coach Ante Milicic. The team has undergone an intense training regime and completed several friendly matches in the past few months. Their recent form is promising, with the Matildas having defeated the USA team in their last outing.
Milicic has named a squad of 22 players, which includes 16 of the 23 players that played for Australia in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. The squad also includes four uncapped players, Jenna McCormick, Karly Roestbakken, Mary Fowler, and Indiah-Paige Riley.
What to Expect from Scotland
Scotland comes into this game on the back of a 4-1 win against Northern Ireland where they put on an impressive display. The team is currently ranked 23rd in the world and has some talented players in their lineup such as Erin Cuthbert and Lana Clelland, who will no doubt pose a threat to the Matildas' defense.
