The AI-powered pre-game prediction correctly forecasted a United States win, with a 64.3% probability. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, and the actual result reflected this assessment.
The United States' recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with a mix of wins and losses, including a recent loss to Brazil (1-2) after defeating them few days earlier (2-0). However, their dominant performance against China suggests they are finding their stride. Their next match is against Jamaica, whom they have consistently defeated in past encounters. China, on the other hand, had been on a winning streak before this match, but the loss to the United States exposes vulnerabilities against stronger opposition. China's next game is not available, so it is impossible to determine the impact this game has on their next match.
Looking at previous head-to-head matches, the United States has historically dominated China, winning most of their encounters. The last two games in December 2023 saw the United States win both games. Considering both teams' recent form and the historical head-to-head record, the United States were clear favorites and lived up to the expectations.
On May 31st, 2025, Allianz Field in Saint Paul, Minnesota, will host a Women's International Friendly between the United States and China. An AI prediction model forecasts a victory for the United States, with a 64.3% win probability compared to China's 14.8%. The model also suggests a 20.9% chance of a draw. The United States, boasting a team rate of 0.836, enters the match as the favorites. Their recent form has been mixed, with wins against Australia and Colombia in the SheBelieves Cup, but losses to Brazil and Japan.
The team's attack will be orchestrated by veteran midfielder Lindsey Horan, whose experience and vision are crucial. Upfront, Sophia Smith's pace and clinical finishing will pose a constant threat to the Chinese defense. China, with a team rate of 0.416, will look to upset the odds. They've had some good results recently, beating Thailand and Uzbekistan. However, they will need a strong performance from Wang Shuang, their star player, who can create chances and score goals from midfield, if they are to challenge the United States. The AI's prediction suggests the United States will continue their dominance in head-to-head matches, having won the last four games.
