Ranking gap is the story

United States sit 11 places above Australia in the FIFA ranking (#16 vs #27) — a gap of that size is hard for the underdog to close in a one-off match. United States comes out at 53%, Australia at 21%, with the rest on the draw. Combined upset-or-draw chance keeps this one flagged as Upset Watch.
