Pulisic carries momentum from the Paraguay opener. The key question is midfield: Tyler Adams vs Australia’s physical presence. The LA crowd will again be heavily USMNT-flavoured.
Mathew Leckie’s energy and set-piece deliveries drive the Socceroos. Mitchell Duke leads the line. Their pressing game is designed to disrupt build-up play.
USA win. At 1.78 this is the correct result. Pulisic’s pace vs Australia’s high line is the key match-up. Second-half goals most likely.
