The two teams renew acquaintances at Parramatta's CommBank Stadium on Tuesday, after van Egmond scored one goal and created another with a second-half cameo on Saturday night.

Van Egmond was absent from the Matildas' loss to Ireland last month but made up for lost time by assisting Mary Fowler before ending Brazilian hopes of a late comeback.

Gustavsson said he did not want to make mass changes for the sake of it but acknowledged the impact his 110-game midfielder had in her 45 minutes of game time.

"It's impressive that she came in and performed that way because she's not been training at club level for a long time after the Olympics," Gustavsson said.

"That's one of the reasons she started on the bench.

"She got a good training week with us, then she came on in the second half and got that goal but also the assist as well."

"Going to a 4-3-3 we can put her higher up the park and she can float in that area between opponents' midfield and backline.

"She can have those late runs into the box that we've seen her score from before."

Gustavsson said the message was clear as the Australians take on Brazil for the second time in the space of a week, and that was to back it up.

Saturday's win was just the third of Gustavsson's tenure and his first on home soil.

The Swede's side played well, with their pressing game allowing them to test Brazil.

At times, however, they looked vulnerable at the back and were not assured of the result until van Egmond scored their third to seal the victory with 10 minutes to go.

"Were there some good things in our performance? Yes," Gustavsson said on Monday.

"But there were some areas where we were vulnerable, we got dispossessed in bad areas and their transition game hurt us and could have cost us.

"I want to see a team that steps on the park and can show we can deliver a performance back-to-back and play with the same intensity, energy, commitment and mindset.

"It's a game where I want to not just say, 'Hey, we got that win". Complacency [comes in], a bit of rotation and then all of a sudden, the game becomes something different.

"This is an important game to keep rebuilding and I want to see that mindset tomorrow."
