On DraftKings Sportsbook, the USA enters as a fairly significant favorite to take this match outright. The Americans are listed with -185 odds to win on the Moneyline, which have ticked shorter since winning their tournament opener. Meanwhile, Australia comes in as a +475 outright underdog. The odds of a draw are priced at +360 as well.
As things currently stand at the time this article was written, a staggering 98% of bets placed on an outright winner fall on the United States.
It’s no surprise to see the USMNT favored heading into this one. While the roster and manager have changed, the program made it to the Round of 16 in 2022 and appears poised for an impressive run under the direction of Mauricio Pochettino. The United States dominated Paraguay in a 4-1 win to open the 2026 World Cup. While the scoring began with an early own goal in their favor, the Americans pushed the lead further behind a first-half brace from Folarin Balogun, capped off by a stoppage-time strike from Gio Reyna for good measure. They were effective throughout, earning 63% of possession, completing 91% of their passes and notching 17 shots on the day to just six for Paraguay.
Now, Australia didn’t quite run to such a dominant result in their opening fixture. Despite sitting at 37% possession on the day, completing only 75% of their passes and tallying just eight shots to Turkey’s 28, the Australians managed to secure a 2-0 victory to begin their campaign. The goals came via Nestory Irankunda in the 27th minute before Connor Metcalfe added insurance at 75′. There’s much for the side to work on heading into such a difficult matchup, but stranger things have certainly happened on this stage.
Bettors looking to get in on some alternative markets than traditional Moneylines have options.
The USA enters with +170 odds to cover the -1.5 spread, while the Australians hold -127 odds to cover on the line of +1.5. Additionally, the over on 2.5 total goals is set at -104 odds, with the under priced at -122 value.
