The United States looked sharp in its opening victory over Paraguay. Another win would put the Americans in an excellent position to advance from Group A and potentially win the group.
Australia has built a reputation as a difficult team to play on the international stage. A result against the host nation would dramatically improve its chances of reaching the knockout rounds.
With only three group-stage matches, every point matters. A victory on Friday could leave either team within reaching distance of the Round of 32.
The United States enters the match with confidence after its opening performance and should benefit from strong home support. Australia is organized and disciplined, but the Americans appear to have more attacking firepower.
Prediction: United States 2, Australia 1
