International Friendly betting - USA vs Australia

Fabio Capello will have one eye on today`s friendly between the USA and Australia. England face the USA in their first game at the World Cup this summer and the Americans are seen as the biggest threat in the group. They will be looking to finalise their line-up for that game today, while Australia are looking to regain some confidence after poor performances against New Zealand and Denmark in their last two fixtures.

The USA are favourites to win today at 11/8 (bet £8 to win £11 profit) with Sky Bet, leaving Australia as underdogs at 21/10, with the draw at 7/3 with Betinternet. The favourites have lost five of their last seven matches, however, and do not look very good value.

A 1-1 draw has been made the favourite score at 11/2 and the game does look as if it could be very close. Next most likely is 1-0 to the USA at 7/1, with the same score in Australia`s favour available at 17/2 with Bet365. A more impressive 2-0 the favourites is 11/1.

Jozy Altidore is the bookmaker`s favourite to open the scoring today at 6/1, followed by Landon Donovan and Josh Kennedy at 13/2. Donovan will be well known to England fans after impressing during his month-long loan spell at Everton last season.

The USA are 3/1 to lead today at both half-time and full-time and 9/2 to win the match after drawing at half-time. The same price is available on Australia/Australia and the bookmakers offer 4/1 that both halves end with the scores level.

Both sides go to the World Cup this summer as outsiders. However of the two teams the USA are given the better chance, priced at 80/1, with their opponents as long as 175/1 with Bet365.
