USWNT vs. Vietnam Betting Odds

Unsurprisingly, the American side is currently priced as a whopping -10000 favourite to win this match. The team from Vietnam are priced as +2400 underdogs, meaning a $100 bet on them would result in a $2500 payout if they were to pull of the upset of the tournament.

United States

One of the big stories coming out of this year’s Women’s World Cup is concerning the number of major players who have been sidelined by injuries and who will miss this year’s tournament. The US team isn’t immune to that trend, and there are some pretty glaring missing parts from the team that has won the last two World Cups.

Because of these injuries, the roster is missing players like Christen Press, Becky Sauerbrunn and Mallory Swanson; which gives some young up-and-coming players their chance to impress. Coach Vlatko Andonovski’s 23-player roster features 14 players without any experience in the World Cup, so watch for the fresh play of Trinity Rodman and Sophia Smith – two players expected to make a huge impact for the US this year.

Don’t worry, you’ll still get to see some of the greatest American players to ever take the pitch, as Alex Morgan, Crystal Dunn, and Julie Ertz are all listed as starters.

USWNT Roster: Alyssa Naeher, Ashley Sanchez, Sofia Huerta, Naomi Girma, Kelley O’Hara, Lynn Williams, Alyssa Thompson, Julie Ertz, Savannah DeMelo, Lindsey Horan, Sophia Smith, Alana Cook, Alex Morgan, Emily Sonnett, Megan Rapinoe, Rose Lavelle, Andi Sullivan, Casey Murphy, Crystal Dunn, Trinity Rodman, Aubrey Kingsbury, Kristie Mewis, Emily Fox.
