USWNT vs. Colombia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s USWNT vs. Colombia odds and lines, with soccer expert picks, predcitions and best bets.

The USWNT welcomes Colombia to America First Field in Sandy, Utah, Thursday. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET (TBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the USWNT vs. Colombia odds, and make our  best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

The USWNT made it through the group stage of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, but it lost to Sweden in the Round of 16 in penalty kicks, a brutal finish for the top-ranked country. Since then, the USWNT has played 2 friendlies, both against South Africa, winning a combined 5-0. F Lynn Williams and F Trinity Rodman both scored 2 goals each.

Colombia had a highly impressive Women’s World Cup showing. It beat South Korea 2-0 and Germany 2-1 in the group stage. It went on to win its Round of 16 game against Jamaica and ultimately lost 2-1 to England in the quarter-final. This will be Colombia’s 1st game since the World Cup. It ranks 22nd in FIFA Women’s Rankings (USWNT sits 3rd).

USWNT vs. Colombia picks and predictions

Prediction

USWNT 2, Colombia 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

The USWNT has high-level talent, and it should come out on top, especially at home. However, at -900, there’s absolutely no value in backing it to simply win outright.

Carry on to the total for the value in this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+188).

Colombia should be rested and had a strong defense in its World Cup showing. It allowed multiple goals just once, to England in the quarterfinals. Other than that match, it allowed 2 combined goals to South Korea, Germany, Morocco and Jamaica. It should be able to keep the USWNT from scoring frequently.

Similarly, the USWNT hasn’t allowed a goal since, having competed 3 times following the World Cup. During World Cup action, it allowed just 1 goal in all 4 matches. It also has a strong backline. Against South Africa in September friendlies, the USWNT never scored more than 3 goals.

Ultimately, this should be a competitive game which suggests fewer goals will be scored. Back UNDER 2.5 (+188) for a chance to nearly double-up.

New Zealand vs. USA picks and predictions

Prediction

USA 3, New Zealand 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Unless it is against a top-5 opponent, almost every USWNT game will get a pass on the moneyline as the odds present no value either way. They have simply been too dominant to bet against, but at (-2500), that just isn’t even close to enough return to bet on the USWNT.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+120).

The value is here to bet against goals, and the reasoning is mainly due to what happened last time these teams met and then what the United States should be looking to accomplish.

For starters, USWNT won 5-0 on Feb. 20, 2022. That isn’t a shocker, but they had just 4 shots on goal and 5 fouls while only having 59% possession. They weren’t playing at their top game with 3 of those 5 goals being own goals by Glasgow City D Meikayla Moore.

Those mistakes are unlikely to repeat themselves, and otherwise, the USWNT didn’t showcase much attacking dominance. Similarly, the USWNT  likely will be playing different combinations to try to figure things out.

The USWNT has gone Under this total in 7 of 12 games last year and in 4 of its last 5 matches. New Zealand has gone Under this total in 2 of 3 matches last year. With the USWNT trying to figure things out and the trends from last year, back the UNDER 3.5 (+120).
