The USA enter the match as the favourites, with our predictive model pointing towards a home victory. While Australia's defensive five-man block is set up to frustrate the hosts, the creative options at the USA's disposal should give them enough quality to break through and find the net, though the visitors remain capable of exploiting space on the counter-attack.
