Where to watch USA vs Portugal live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for USWNT World Cup match

The United States hope to shake off their slip against the Netherlands for their Group E finale against Portugal at the 2023 Women's World Cup.

Ranked No. 1 in the world, the U.S. slumped to a 1-1 draw in their second group match against the Dutch, and looked poor for large stretches of the match, especially in the first half. Lindsey Horan's thumping header equalized and secured a valuable point, but the performance on the whole was concerning.

The USWNT require just a draw against Portugal in their final group game, but would much prefer to collect all three points to help leave them atop the standings for a prime qualification spot in the Round of 16.

Portugal, ranked No. 21 in the world by FIFA, almost surely need an upset victory here to qualify for the knockout round, having fallen to the Dutch and beaten Vietnam in their first two games of their World Cup journey.

What time does USA vs Portugal kick off?

This Women's World Cup Group E match at Eden Park kicks off on Tuesday, August 1 at 7 p.m. local time in Auckland, New Zealand.

Here's how that time translates across some of the major territories:

USA vs Portugal projected lineups & team news

The U.S. forwards struggled mightily against the Netherlands in their last Group E match, so it felt inevitable that manager Vlatko Andonovski would make changes up front, and he does. Lynn Williams is rotated in, while Trinity Rodman sits on the bench after a wasteful performance against the Dutch.

It was expected that Rose Lavelle would start last time out against the Netherlands, but that was not the case, with Andonovski indicating that she was limited to 45 minutes of action. She came on at halftime and made a huge impact, and finally does earn her first start of the 2023 tournament here today.

There are also questions about where Julie Ertz will play with Andi Sullivan struggling mightily at the No. 6 spot, but Ertz remains at center-back, leaving Alana Cook stuck on the bench and Sullivan in midfield.

Injuries hit the U.S. hard before the tournament, leaving Mallory Swanson, Becky Sauerbrunn, Christen Press, and Catarina Macario all unable to prove fit for World Cup duty.

USA starting lineup (4-3-3): Naeher (GK) — Fox, Ertz, Girma, Dunn — Lavelle, Sullivan, Horan — Rodman, Morgan, S. Smith.

Portugal head coach Francisco Neto made big changes to his lineup from the first to the second game, and against the U.S. he has rotated the side back to where they were against the Netherlands to open the tournament.

Playmaker Andreia Norton of Benfica starts at the No. 10 spot, hoping for a turnaround after going an unthinkable 2-of-22 on ground duels. Kika Nazareth, who picked up a goal against Vietnam and created three chances for her teammates, is one of the few from last match to retain her place, while Ines Pereira returns to goalkeeping duty in place of Patricia Morais.

Three Portugal players are on yellow card suspensions, meaning another booking for Jessica Silva, Ana Borges, or captain Diana Gomes would see them banned for a potential Round of 16 game should they qualify.

Portugal projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Pereira (GK) — Borges, C. Costa, D. Gomes, Amado — T Pinto, Dol. Silva, Norton — J. Silva, Nazareth, Dia. Silva.

USA vs Portugal betting odds & lines

The United States are the clear favorites in this match, but their poor attacking performances have muted expectations somewhat coming into this Group E finale.

Between the two sides failing to produce significant attacking pressure so far, and the knowledge that the U.S. just need a draw to advance into the knockout stage, the odds clearly favor less scoring in this game.
