Australia was blasted by Japan 4-0 Thursday in its first match of the 4-team tournament. It wasn't just that it lost, but how it lost. Australia had 17 fewer shots and didn't end with a single shot on frame. It did go 3-1-2 in its friendlies since October of 2024 with one of those victories being against Germany. Australia ranks 15th in the FIFA Women's Rankings.
The USWNT captured the top spot in the FIFA rankings after a dominant 2024 that included a gold medal at the Olympics. It has won 2 straight matches and 4 of its last 5. The USWNT is coming off a 2-0 win over Colombia Thursday in Houston, ending with 3 shots on frame, which compares favorably to Colombia's zero.

USWNT vs. Australia picks and predictions
Prediction
USWNT 3, Australia 0
PASS.
The USWNT showcased its dominance throughout the bulk of 2024 and will come out on top against Australia. The bigger question entering this match is how competitive can Australia be, having just 1 shot against world No. 8 Japan in its first SheBelieves Cup game.
The USWNT didn't look overly dominant against No. 21 Colombia, but it certainly showcased enough to be a massive favorite in this one. The USWNT should win with ease, but are far too expensive to take on the moneyline.
BET UNDER 3.5 (+100).
It doesn't look like Australia can score. It ended with 1 shot and none on frame against Japan. It will see a far better backline against the USWNT, so expect the road side to again be held without a goal.
For the USWNT, scoring often isn't something this new squad does often. It has scored 2 goals or fewer in 3 straight matches and in 5 of its last 8 contests. It has gone Under this total in 7 of its last 9 matches. Considering its style of play, expect it take the foot off the gas if it gets up a few goals.
BACK UNDER 3.5 (+100).
