The USWNT is starting its latest round of friendlies. It beat South Korea 4-0 Saturday at DSG Park in Commerce City, Colo. Prior to that, it hadn’t taken the field since winning the SheBelieves Cup over Canada April 9. The USWNT has won its last 6 games but did lose 2-0 against Mexico Feb. 26. It has won 8 of 9 games in 2024 and sits 4th in the FIFA Women’s World Ranking.
South Korea sits 20th. It hasn’t had quite as busy of a 2024, having played 5 games and winning 3 of them. Its lone other loss was a 5-1 defeat against Portugal Feb. 27. Although South Korea lost 4-0 to the USWNT, it didn’t give up its 1st goal until 34 minutes in and did allow just 15 shots in total. It has wins over the Philippines and the Czech Republic so far this year.

USWNT vs. South Korea picks and predictions
Prediction
USWNT 3, South Korea 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
Unfortunately, there’s no value here however one paints it. South Korea lost 4-0 and didn’t even really catch sight of goal Saturday, and the USWNT should again showcase that type of dominance Tuesday.
Couple that with the fact that South Korea was dominated by Portugal, which sits at No. 21 in the FIFA Women’s World Ranking, and there’s no real reason to assume anything other than a USWNT win will be the outcome of the match.
Avoid taking the home side at -1800 though.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 3.5 (-122).
The USWNT did manage 4 goals Saturday, but it did that on just 9 shots on frame and just 15 shots in total.
The high-level scoring just isn’t there like it used to be, and fans were given a real look at the lack of potency in the SheBelieves Cup. In the 8 games prior to Saturday that the USWNT played this year, it scored 3 or fewer in 6 of them.
South Korea didn’t seem too interested in scoring Saturday and has tallied just 4 shots on frame against Portugal, its only other quality opponent this year.
Considering those trends, expect fewer goals, and back UNDER 3.5 (-122).
