The Matildas face the footballing might of the USA in their second game of the 2018 Tournament of Nations. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 9am (AEST).
After a convincing and pleasing victory against Brazil in their first match, the Matildas now face the United States on their own turf.
If the Australians are any hope of repeating their success in claiming the title last year, they must take at least a point from the top-ranked nation.
The Americans defeated Japan 4-2 in their first hit-out and possess considerable goal-scoring punch, something the Australians will need to combat with a disciplined and compact defensive effort.
The hat trick of Alex Morgan sends a warning shot across the bow of any nation looking to challenge the current World Cup champions.
Australia has experienced a remarkable climb up the rankings over the last decade and sit comfortably inside the top ten (8) as we speak.
This tournament is another stepping stone on the way to next year’s World Cup and coach Alen Stajcic will be looking for continued improvement from the squad to ensure they are ready to take on the World in France next June.
The Americans will have their hands full coping with Sam Kerr, who has already added to her international goals tally in this tournament and Morgan will be the focal point up front for the home side.
Since the Matildas’ victory by a solitary goal in this same match-up in last years event, the home side hasn’t lost an international match. With the Australians in excellent form, this looms as the match of the tournament.
Prediction
Seeking revenge for the loss of twelve months ago, the United States will be a tough nut to crack. In a game where goals look likely, the Matildas are capable of producing an upset yet a drawn game is a distinct possibility.
USA 2 – Australia 2
