Why England can win 

The Lionesses are capable of exploding offensively as they've scored eight or more goals three times during their winning streak. The club reached double digits for the second time during the run in their last outing as they routed Luxembourg 10-0 in a 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying match on Sept. 6. England won all 10 of their qualifiers, netting a total of 80 goals while posting a clean sheet in each contest.

During their winning streak, the Lionesses have allowed a goal in only four matches. Since dropping a 2-0 decision against Canada in a friendly on Apr. 13, 2021, they have been unbeatable, recording 20 wins and a pair of draws. The Lionesses have several players on hot streaks as Georgia Stanway scored twice in England's rout of Luxembourg last month, fellow midfielder Ella Toone has netted three goals in her last five games and forward Beth Mead has recorded four goals in her past seven contests.

Why USA can win 

The Americans also will be missing a top player as star forward Alex Morgan is sidelined with a knee injury. They are hoping youngster Sophia Smith can provide an offensive spark in Morgan's absence. The 22-year-old forward set the tone in the USWNT's 4-0 victory against Nigeria in a friendly on Sept. 3 by opening the scoring in the 14th minute and also tallied just before halftime to give the club a 3-0 lead.

The U.S. saw their streak of nine consecutive clean sheets come to an end three days later as the Nigerians scored in the 50th minute to knot the contest. But midfielder Rose Lavelle netted her fourth tally of the year 16 minutes later and the Americans went on to extend their unbeaten streak on home soil to 71 matches. The USWNT enters Friday with a 21-game overall unbeaten run since losing 1-0 to Canada in the semifinals of the 2020 Olympics on Aug. 2, 2021.
