We’re just a few days away from the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and bettors are already budgeting for which squad they’re backing to win it all.
When it comes to the odds board, the reigning world champion United States Women’s National Team remains at the top.
The Americans have put a little distance on the rest of the field recently, at least in the eyes of the oddsmakers.
The USWNT sits at +240 (bet $10 to win $34 total) to win it all after being at +275 earlier this summer despite captain Becky Sauerbrunn announcing she will miss the competition due to a foot injury.

Per FOX Sports Research, when the USWNT took the title four years ago in France, they entered the tournament as co-favorites to win it all (+350). The most recent World Cup was also when Megan Rapinoe won the tiebreaker with teammate Alex Morgan to capture the Golden Boot (award for most goals scored) after both players scored six goals.
Going back even further, in 2015, the team also had the best title odds of any country at +300. Household names like Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd and Hope Solo helped lead the charge when they captured the Cup in Canada eight years ago.
FOX Sports soccer expert David Mosse noted that the USWNT could be poised to cement itself in soccer’s history books next year.
“No country has won three straight World Cups on the men’s or women’s side,” Mosse explained. “But if youngsters like Sophia Smith continue to develop, the U.S. is more than capable of accomplishing that feat.”
And another FOX Sports soccer expert Doug McIntyre agrees with Mosse.
“With all due respect to the rest of a rapidly improving field, the USWNT still stands head and shoulders above every other nation in the women’s game,” McIntyre noted. “After winning the last two World Cups with veteran-heavy groups, there’s a new generation of hungry newcomers.
“They will be determined to make their mark on the biggest stage.”
