USA vs Australia Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: USA
- Odds: -162 (Tonybet)
The USA delivered one of their best performances under Mauricio Pochettino in a dominant 4-1 victory over Paraguay that saw them grab a 3-0 lead before the break.
The team controlled the game with ease, finishing with 65% possession and a 1.34-0.47 edge in xG. The job’s not done for the USMNT, though. A win here could clinch first place for the USA, depending on what happens in the Turkiye vs Paraguay match.
While the USMNT win over Paraguay can’t be considered an upset, Australia’s 2-0 victory over Turkiye was one of the biggest surprises of the opening round.

The Socceroos, who had won just four of their previous nine friendlies before the World Cup (D1, L4), only needed 28% possession to steal the win. They’re expected to play with a defensive, counter-attacking approach against the USMNT as well.
There’s no question that Australia have what it takes to pull off an upset in the upcoming clash, especially if they’re as tactically disciplined as they were against Turkiye. However, in terms of experience, talent, and individual quality, the USA are much stronger. Combined with the home advantage of playing on Seattle’s artificial grass, that should give the Stars and Stripes a strong chance to secure another win.
USA vs Australia Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Folarin Balogun to score anytime
- Odds: +134 (Tonybet)
Balogun starred in the 4-1 win over Paraguay with two goals. The AS Monaco striker could feast against an Australian defensive line that’s not known for its pace.
With Christian Pulisic considered doubtful due to a calf issue, Balogun is expected to be the focal point of the American attack once again. He has scored 11 goals in 28 matches for the national team.

The USA are the better side on paper, both in terms of talent and based on their performance in the World Cup opener. It wouldn’t be surprising to see them deliver a dominant display against a defensively-minded Australian squad.
The USMNT have scored at least three goals in three of their last five matches, and with those games being against stronger opposition, they should have little trouble against the Socceroos.

The USA are likely to exploit the flanks, mainly with Sergino Dest and Antonee Robinson overlapping the wingers. If the team control possession as expected, that advantage could translate into a higher corner count, especially if Australia adopt a defensive approach.
The Stars and Stripes already held a 3-1 edge in corners in the opener against Paraguay.
The co-hosts could keep a clean sheet as well. Australia will likely look to attack on the counter, but they don’t have a lot of quality in the final third. Given that the USMNT were able to control Paraguay, they should be capable of doing the same against the Socceroos.
Even if they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last nine matches, this is the perfect game to end that drought.
USA vs Australia Team News
USA Team News
The USMNT are sweating over the fitness of star playmaker Christian Pulisic, who left the game against Paraguay with a calf injury and has been training on the side over the last few days.
If Pulisic isn’t available, Leeds United’s Brenden Aaronson could take his place in the XI, though Giovanni Reyna and Timothy Weah are also options. Other than that, Pochettino is expected to field the same starting lineup that impressed in the tournament opener.
Australia Team News
Australia aren’t dealing with any injuries ahead of this contest, meaning the Socceroos’ coaching staff could very well field the same lineup that secured the victory over Turkiye.
The only question mark lies between the posts. Patrick Beach got the nod in the opener and could stay in the XI following his impressive performance, but Mathew Ryan has over 100 international caps and far more experience and could start here.
