USA Women vs Australia Women Prediction
The USA started their SheBelieves Cup title defense in routine fashion with their win over Colombia. Emma Hayes' side did not break much of a sweat against the debuting South Americans but are likely to face a sterner test here.
Australia, on their day, have what it takes to trouble any side in the world but they were sub-par against Japan. A similar showing would see them blown away by their hosts and effectively end their hopes of winning the tournament.
The USWNT are five-time defending champions of this competition and we are backing them to claim maximum points with a comfortable win and goals at both ends.
