The United States are clear favourites to beat Australia in Seattle. Both the betting market and form analysis point to a USA win, supported by their emphatic 4-1 opening victory over Paraguay and home advantage. Australia also started with a 2-0 win over Türkiye, but the odds consensus gives USA a 58.5% implied probability and no line movement suggests market confidence. While Australia have proven resilient, the cumulative evidence gives the USA a solid edge. The most likely scorelines are 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 in favour of the hosts.
