The United States Women’s National Team will look to win their second friendly over Ireland in a four-day span when the teams meet on Tuesday. The U.S. will be without the services of striker Mallory Swanson, who was injured in Saturday’s 2-0 win. She tore a patella tendon and will more than likely be out of the upcoming Women’s World Cup. Both sides have played well since the start of last year, with the Americans posting a 17-3 mark, while Ireland is 6-1-2 during that same stretch.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET at Citypark Stadium in St. Louis. The United States is listed at -4000 (risk $4,000 to win $100) on the money line, while Ireland is +4500, and a draw would return +900 in the latest USWNT vs. Ireland odds at Caesars Sportsbook. The over/under for total goals scored is 3.5. Before making any USWNT vs. Ireland picks, be sure to check out what SportsLine soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say.

Why you should back the USWNT
Although the Americans will miss Swanson, they still have a formidable offense. Lindsey Horan, who scored a goal in Saturday’s win over the Irish, has 27 career goals in 127 appearances for the United States. She began her professional career in 2012 and most recently has played in France’s Division 1 Feminine for Lyon. She appeared in five matches for Lyon in 2021-22, but did not score.
The Americans have scored 16 goals in six matches since the start of the year. Rose Lavelle has two goals and three assists, while Alex Morgan has two goals and two assists during that stretch. Lavelle now has 24 career goals in 88 appearances for the U.S., while Morgan has 121 in 205 appearances.
Why you should back Ireland
The Irish have played just two friendlies this year, but finished 2022 on a high note with a 4-0 victory over Morocco. Midfielder Denise O’Sullivan leads the side with 19 goals in 100 appearances. She first appeared with the Irish team in September 2011. Her best performance was a three-goal effort in an 11-0 win over Georgia in November 2021 during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup UEFA qualifying in Group A.
Also helping power Ireland is captain and midfielder Katie McCabe. The 27-year-old has scored 18 times in 71 appearances for the Irish. She scored her first international goal in a 1-1 tie with Italy in 2016. She has three multi-goal matches, scoring twice in a 4-0 victory over Northern Ireland in 2018, twice in an 11-0 win over Georgia in 2021 and three goals in a 9-0 victory over Georgia in June 2022.
