Pulisic's fitness remains the one caveat hanging over the American XI.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Tony Popovic is expected to name an unchanged Australia side, suggesting confidence in the structure that brought them to this point. The Socceroos' wing-backs will be crucial in managing the space Pulisic and Weah will seek to exploit, making those wide corridors the likely battleground.<\/p><div id=\"mux-odds-compare-ext\"

The United States hold a significant ranking advantage, sitting ten places above Australia, and have won both previous meetings between these sides. Co-hosts playing before a fervent Seattle crowd carry genuine momentum, even if Pulisic's calf concern tempers expectations slightly. Australia's recent form reads well, with three wins from five, yet their defensive resilience will be tested against a physically combative American side.
