Odds, picks & predictions
Australia: +225
Draw: +195
England: +135
Moneyline pick: Draw +195
With the support of the home crowd, Australia are likely to remain competitive, even if England take an early lead. A draw in regular time could shake out. England had a 0-0 draw with Nigeria before advancing on a penalty shootout while Australia did the same against France in the quarterfinal round.
Both teams boast strong attacks but England’s defense seems more resilient, especially given Australia’s inability to score against France. Nonetheless, Australia’s goalkeeper, Mackenzie Arnold, has proven herself with some excellent performances in the last two matches. I’m expecting a low-scoring affair that ends in a draw in regular time.
