• USA moneyline 3-way (-175) at BetMGM

Already stamping their ticket to the knockout round the Americans aren’t faced with the pressure of a must-win scenario, but they still have first place to play for in Group B. Australia’s magic has seemed to run out after impressive demonstrations in the previous summer games and the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Matildas did battle back in their thrilling victory coming back from three goals down, but think running into the U.S. they will be overmatched.
