USWNT vs. Canada prediction, odds, start time: Free picks, best bets from soccer expert

The United States Women’s National Team aim for victory No. 601 when they face Canada in the Allstate Continental Clásico, an international friendly at Audi Field in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. The USWNT enter with a winning streak that reached four games with Sunday’s 4-0 triumph over Ireland, which was the 600th win in program history.

Alyssa Thompson has scored in back-to-back matches, and fellow forward Lynn Biyendolo has converted three times in her last three contests for the Americans, who have outscored their opponents 15-0 during their winning streak. The USWNT own a 53-4-9 all-time record against Canada after winning in penalty shootouts last year in both the SheBelieves Cup Final and Concacaf Gold Cup semifinals.

Canada have scored 11 goals and allowed only three while winning their last three matches. Forward Holly Ward has converted in back-to-back matches, while defender Shelina Zadorsky also has tallied twice during the Canadians’ winning streak.

Kickoff from TQL Stadium in Cincinnati is set for 3 p.m. ET. The U.S. are -130 favorites (risk $130 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest USWNT vs. Ireland odds at DraftKings Sportsbook, while Canada are +330 underdogs. A draw is priced at +225, and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5. Before locking in any Canada vs. USWNT picks, you need to see what proven SportsLine soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say. 

Sutton was profitable across multiple leagues for SportsLine subscribers in 2023, including the Champions League, English Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and more. He also finished 2022 as SportsLine’s No. 1 soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players.

Here are Sutton’s best bets for USWNT vs. Canada on Wednesday:

• Both teams to score: Yes (+116)
• Over 2.5 goals (+105)

The USWNT recorded back-to-back 4-0 wins over Ireland last week, and now the Americans will take on a Canadian team that is full of confidence. Canada have won six of their last seven games, scoring three or more goals in five of those contests. 

These two rivals last squared off in the SheBelieves Cup Final in April 2024, with the U.S. winning via a penalty shootout following a thrilling 2-2 draw in regulation. I’m expecting to see an entertaining affair on Wednesday, with both teams bolstering attackers who can find the back of the net. The last two matches between these teams have ended in a 2-2 draw after regulation, so getting plus-money odds on Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score are bets I’m willing to make.
