Matildas vs United States lineups

In this chapter of our Matildas vs United States prediction, you’ll read more about the players who will take part in this game.

Matildas lineup – injuries, suspensions, and other news

After failing to win twice in a row against the US side, Australia are undoubtedly eager to finally beat this team. However, despite having a few wonderful players at his disposal, coach Gustavsson will find it difficult to beat the USWNT. The likes of Carpenter and van Egmond will partake so we expect a sturdy display by Matildas.

Matildas predicted lineup: Micah (GK), Carpenter, Catley, Torpey, Kennedy, Cooney-Cross, Raso, Fowler, Wheeler, van Egmond & Heyman

Player to watch: Stephanie Catley

We feature Steph Catley as the player to watch in our expert Australia vs USWNT prediction, as she is the Aussie captain and deserves to be singled out. During the 2023/24 season, she made a total of 22 appearances for Arsenal, scoring once and supplying teammates with three assists.

United States lineup – injuries, suspensions, and other news

If you check the US’ last couple of games ahead of the Olympics, you’ll see that Smith and her colleagues did wonders! They managed to avoid defeat in nine consecutive games in all competitions, which is, of course, a massive boost to our Australia vs USWNT predictions.

United States predicted lineup: Naeher (GK), Fox, Girma, Davidson, Dunn, Albert, Coffey, Smith, Horan, Swanson & Rodman

Player to watch: Mallory Swanson

Swanson is the leading US player right now. She is having a tremendous season with her club team, as he found the net on seven occasions since the start of the campaign. Moreover, she also added three assists to her name as well.
