England vs Australia Head-to-Head Football Stats Record

The England vs Australia head-to-head football stats tell us that the sides have played just seven times before – and they’ve ALL been friendlies.

Yes, England and Australia are yet to meet in a competitive tournament, with the latest of these friendly matchups coming over 7 years ago on Friday 27th May 2016 in a game the Three Lions beat the Socceroos 2-1 (see the highlights below).

Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney were the England scorers that night, with Eric Dier helping out Australia by scoring an own goal.

They meet again this week on Friday 13th 2023 – so, if we look at the past head-to-head stats, what can we expect on this famous ‘jinxed’ date?

Firstly, the FIFA Rankings currently have England 23 places ahead of Australia (4th plays 27th) – so it’s no shock to see the match betting with the best UK football betting sites mirror this with England 1/6 to win, the draw 11/2 and Australia 13/1.

From the seven past meetings (see them all below), England have lost just once to Australia, which came in 2003 with a shock 1-3 away win for Australia that was played at West Ham’s old ground – Upton Park.

England vs Australia Overs/Unders Stats

Looking at the Overs/Unders options, it’s a slightly mixed bag with 4 of the last 6 England vs Australia head-to-heads going Under 2.5 Goals.

However, in more recent games for each side there have been goals.

15 of England’s last 23 have seen 3+ goals scored, while 83% of Australia’s last six also went Over 2.5 Goals. This can be backed @ 11/20 with BetUK.

The Three Lions also head here having lost only 4 of their last 39 games (90mins), which equates to a 90% no loss strike-rate over that period. While Australia are coming into the game on a poor run of just 1 win from their last 5.

They were last in action in a 2-2 away draw with Mexico last month and their only recent victory came in a 3-1 home win over Ecuador in March 2023.

Harry Kane Will Be Hunting His 60th England Goal

If you are having a bet in the scorers markets, then team news is always key in these international friendly games.

However, England’s main man up front and captain Harry Kane is sure to figure as he searches for landmark 60 goals for his country.

The Munich man can be backed @ 7/10 to score anytime or 49/20 to get the first goal of the game.

Looking at the Australia players, Hibernan midfielder Martin Boyle, who scored a penalty in their 2-2 draw with Mexico, is their shortest-priced player in the betting @ 27/5 to score anytime.
