USWNT vs. Mexico picks and predictions
Prediction
USWNT 2, Mexico 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
The USWNT is a strong home favorite, and with how Mexico has played of late, the odds are certainly justified. The USWNT has been dominant, and it has already secured a knockout stage position when it suffered that loss to Mexico.
As for Mexico, it has struggled immensely since its hot start to the season, and there’s no reason to think it’ll bounce back on the road. Avoid taking the home side at -1000, though, and pass on both the draw and upset.

Over/Under (O/U)
BET ALTERNATE UNDER 2.5 (+152).
Mexico’s offense has been absent over the last several months, but its defense has been very sturdy. It has scored just 1 goal in its last 5 games and allowed 2 or fewer in 2 of its last 4. Mexico has gone under this total in 4 straight games and in 6 of 9 in 2024.
The USWNT has scored 2 or fewer goals in 4 of its last 6 games. It should be able to hold Mexico scoreless, having 2 straight clean sheets in games against South Korea. Expect a dominant defensive performance.
Considering those trends, expect fewer goals, and back UNDER 2.5 (+152).
