The Matildas look to bounce back from their opening-game defeat and are keen to avoid an early elimination on Thursday, June 13th. Live Soccer TV's match preview provides match facts, team news, and global broadcast listings for Australia vs. Brazil.

What is the form of Australia compared to Brazil?

Australia locks horns with Brazil on the back of an awful run. In their opening game of the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Matildas conceded a stoppage-time goal to lose 2-1 to Italy, extending their losing streak to three games. This means they have won only half of the games they have played in 2019 (P6, W3).

As for Brazil, they began their campaign with a 3-0 win over Jamaica and now sit ahead of Italy due to their superior goal difference. However, the South Americans have had a worse run than their opponent, losing eight games in a row prior to their Matchday 1 victory.

Australia vs Brazil head-to-head record

Australia might have a hill to climb but it's the Matildas that boast the superior head-to-head record against Brazil. However, that advantage could be wiped out Thursday.

Games played: 18

Australia wins: 9

Brazil wins: 8

Draws: 1

Interesting facts

The last time these two teams met was back in the 2017 FIFA Women's World Cup and Australia emerged victorious on that day.
This will be the fourth straight FIFA Women's World Cup in which these two nations will clash.
As Canarinhas are the Matildas' most common opponents outside of Asia.

Preview - One of the favorites to be knocked out early?

Not many would have predicted Australia going out in the group stage but that is the nightmare the Matildas could be facing should they suffer defeat on Thursday. The AFC side is currently on zero points and could be headed for an early exit should they lose to the South Americans and Italy beat Jamaica, which is likely.

The 2-1 loss to the Italians in their opening game was heartbreaking, conceding a late goal to come away with nothing. As a result, FIFA's sixth-highest ranked women's team could bow out in the first round.

Elise Kellond-Knight, who started that defeat on the bench due to fitness issues, has called for her and her team-mates to show a positive response. If Spain could bounce back from an opening day defeat to win the FIFA Men's World Cup back in 2010, why can't Ante Milicic's side do the same?

Unfortunately for Sam Kerr and Co., As Canarinhas should have Marta back on the field for Thursday's game, as The Best FIFA Women's Player of the Year returned to training after missing the victory over Jamaica. Her presence will make everything all the more difficult for an Australian side fighting to remain in the tournament.
