The reigning world champion, the USA, will face the Australian national team in the bronze medal match at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on Thursday. Both sides fell to 1-0 defeats in their respective semifinal keys. Therefore, they will have only one last chance to secure a medal this summer, which would be Australia’s first medal at an Olympics while the U.S. has improved its performance from Rio 2016. The Americans missed the gold medal match for the second time in history in women’s Olympic soccer. The most outstanding player on the Australian national team is Sam Kerr, so she is expected to continue giving us brilliant minutes during this final medal match.

Why bet on the USA
It’s the game they wanted no part of. With all that this U.S. team has accomplished in recent years, they will be very disappointed to compete in the bronze medal game at the Olympics, but hopefully, they will want to prove their doubters wrong.
Why bet on Australia
Australia has shown that they are not exactly easy opponents, as they drew 0-0 with the USWNT at the start of the tournament. However, that match was the only game in which they did not concede a goal, and the nine goals conceded in five games show their main weakness, which is at the back.
Final betting analysis between the USA vs. Australia
The Olympic odds indicate that the U.S. is a heavy favourite at -138 to beat Australia, which is understandable when comparing their team to Matilda’s. However, it looks like this U.S. team might be at a crossroads, with the need to inject new blood now that some of their most famous names are comfortably in their thirties.
Australia will perhaps be the more pleased of the two sides with their performance at this summer’s Olympics, considering the United States pressure to win gold given their recent success as world champions. However, the U.S. will be determined not to leave Japan without a medal. They have shown this Olympics that they can bounce back from disappointment, just as they did after their opening loss to Sweden. Their experience playing in the latter stages of major tournaments should help them win, so we predict a 2-1 score in favour of the U.S. team at the end of the match.
