USA vs Australia Preview and Team News
USA Team News
The USA don’t have any major absentees in their squad, which is a good sign. They like to attack from the flanks, but that won’t be an easy task against Australia, who are known to mark their opponents closely and set up five defenders. However, the Stars and Stripes also emphasize building play from midfield, which could be helpful given their preference for box-to-box movement.
In defense, manager Mauricio Pochettino will urge his wards not to lose their shape and focus on retaining possession for long stretches. The former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation. The three defenders at the back give him the confidence of some heft when possession gets lost.
Meanwhile, the extra wingbacks, who add their numbers to the midfield, can bomb forward and help out with crosses when they have the ball. Most of the attacking play that the USA focus on is based on fluidity of passing, especially short passing.
USA predicted lineup vs Australia (3-4-3): Freese; Ream, Richards, Robinson; Arfsten, Morris, Tessmann, Weah; Tillman, Balogun, McKennie.
Australia Team News
Coming off a win against Canada, Australia won’t be too fazed by this challenge from the USA. Ranked 25th by FIFA, the team are among the most exciting sides to emerge from the AFC region. The Stars and Stripes, ranked 16th by the world governing body, however, are capable of taking this game down to the wire.
Australia often play with a one-man attacking unit, Mohamed Toure, and it remains to be seen how well he adjusts against the USA. Beating Canada 1-0 wasn’t difficult for the visiting Aussies, and this now takes them to five wins in as many matches. Their five-man defense gives them an advantage over their opponents on the wings, particularly with their precision and speed in passing.
Against Canada, Australia had just 39% of the ball and took a mere five shots, but excelled with their incisive nature in the final third. In comparison, their opponents held 61% possession and took 17 shots, but couldn’t find the back of the net.
Australia predicted lineup vs USA (5-4-1): Izzo; Rowles, Burgess, Degenek, Circati, Italiano; Irankunda, Balard, O’Neill, Metcalfe; Toure.
USA vs Australia Prediction
- Pick: USA to win or draw
- Odds: -527 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: USA 2-2 Australia
The USA appear slightly stronger than their opponents, and we expect them to either win or draw. Australia’s weakness lies in losing the ball from midfield, which can quickly turn into goalscoring opportunities for the American attackers. If the visitors focus on keeping the ball in midfield and using short passes, they’ll be able to keep the hosts at bay.
However, the USA like to overload their wings to create additional attacking options, and that could prove effective against the Aussies. How the visiting side protect their wings will be crucial, as they simply can’t afford to give any space there at all.
USA vs Australia Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over two goals
- Odds: -257 (20Bet)
We expect more than two total goals in this match. Both the USA and Australia tend to show their attacking potential with short bursts of aggressive play, which should result in a few goals. The Aussies’ build-up play is usually vertical and high-pressing, whereas the Americans use the wings and crosses to generate chances.
Both teams, interestingly, are extremely quick on the counter, even if they sport different strategies for attack. The hosts may have a more dominating approach in the final third, but Australia are no minnows, and they too will patiently wait for their chance to come before mounting a counterattack.
