USWNT vs. Vietnam Prediction, Odds

No surprise: USWNT is an extremely heavy favorite against Vietnam. Vegas currently has the No. 1-ranked squad at -20000 against Vietnam’s +10000 (FanDuel).

USWNT’s reign as the dominant force in women’s international soccer started decades ago. They won the first Women’s World Cup in 1991 and went on to win in 1999, 2015, and 2019 as well. They’ve also secured four Olympic gold medals (in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012) and nine CONCACAF Gold Cups. Over the last five years, USWNT hasn’t dropped below the No. 1 FIFA ranking.

Vietnam’s women’s national team, on the other hand, has a very different story. They had their first match in 1997, and, although dominant in Southeast Asian women’s football, the team has had trouble on the international level. Before tonight’s game, they’d never played a World Cup game or shared a pitch with USWNT, even for a friendly match.

Be sure to grab a VPN or a live TV streaming service to watch USWNT vs. Vietnam online tonight.
