The USWNT will hope for revenge as the U.S. women take on Spain for the second time in four days on Tuesday evening outside Philadelphia.

The No. 1-ranked Europeans secured victory in their first friendly meeting on Saturday, winning 2-0 on goals from Patri Guijarro and Eva Navarro both in the opening 15 minutes. The U.S. fought back hard and dominated the final hour, but couldn’t find the back of the net.

The second-ranked Americans are looking to take back the top spot in the FIFA rankings, but have to prove they are still the best team in the world against the defending Women’s World Cup title-winners.

USA vs. Spain prediction

The United States may have lost the first of the two friendlies between these two top-ranked nations, but they deserved much more.

The USWNT not only out-shot Spain 13-6, but registered 2.66 xG to Spain’s 0.48. Of course, the U.S. started lazily and failed to close out two shooters, but play that game over 10 times, and the U.S. gets something out of it on most occsasions. 

Spain are not going to let up of course, but the United States will be motivated to prove that the first result was a fluke, and will be antsy to make good on their first 90 minutes of largely strong play.

Score Prediction: USA 2, Spain 1 (+1000 at bet365)

USA vs. Spain best bets

We’ve selected two betting angles for the USA vs. Spain match.

The United States put up solid production in front of goal in the opening match, and that should continue in this game even more so. The U.S. was maybe a little too selective in the final third in Saturday’s defeat, and they will almost surely let fly more in this game with some urgency to turn the loss around.

Expect the likes of Sophia Wilson and Trinity Rodman to take charge of the attack in this game, and Ashley Sanchez’s good form should also provide a boost if she gets a chance to play from the beginning.

Nearly every attack that the U.S. generated operated with the idea of getting Sophia Wilson on the end of a shot. It was so egregious that even the likes of Alyssa Thompson and Trinity Rodman had openings to shoot and decided not to, hoping instead to get a better look for their attacking spearhead.

Wilson finished that game with three shots and eight touches in the penalty area, both of which led the team, and she also won a penalty, which Lily Yohannes missed and Wilson probably should have taken herself.

Expect the USWNT star striker to find the back of the net in this game.
