USA Women vs Canada Women Prediction and Betting Tips | February 16, 2023

USA Women and Canada Women will lock horns at Exploria Stadium in the SheBelieves Cup on Thursday (February 16).

USA are the most successful team in the tournament, having won five of the seven editions since its inception in 2016. They are also the defending champions following their triumph over Iceland in the final last year. USA are the reigning champions of the FIFA Women's World Cup as well.

The Stars and Stripes lost to England, Spain and Germany in friendlies late last year. However, they ended 2022 with a 2-1 win over Germany before opening the new year with two convincing wins (4-0, 5-0) against New Zealand. USA beat Canada 1-0 in their last meeting at the CONCACAF Women's Championship.

Canada, meanwhile, are appearing at SheBelieves Cup for the second time following their successful debut in 2021, where they finished third. They have qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup – their eighth consecutive appearance since 1995. The USA will present a good matchup for Canada ahead of the global showpiece.

Canada played two friendlies against Brazil last November, winning the first 2-1 and losing the second by the same scoreline. They have not played since then. Canada have had the better of the USA once in their more than a dozen clashes since 2008. That success came in 2021, with most of those players still available.
