<p>The Matildas first matches of 2025 have so far not gone to plan. Taking part in America’s annual SheBelieves Cup, Australia have faced and fallen to both Japan and the USA so far.</p> <p>Now a shot at redemption awaits in their final match against Colombia. Winning the title may now be beyond their reach, but pride has always been enough to play for when it comes to Aussie sporting sides and the Tillies should be no different.</p> <p>Can the girls in green and gold end things on a high and see off Colombia in their final match of the SheBelieves Cup? Let’s find out.</p> <p>For the latest analysis, team news, odds and more ahead of what is sure to be an entertaining hit out, check out our Matildas vs Colombia preview below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Matildas vs Colombia Preview</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The bad news heading into this one is the Matildas have so far lost both of their games at the SheBelieves Cup.</p> <p>The good news is, so have Colombia, but even worse. That means the Tillies currently sit just ahead of the South Americans, meaning the loser here will receive the dubious honour of finishing dead last.</p> <p>After a 4-0 drubbing to Japan in their opening match, the Tillies managed to rally somewhat against the US, who are the top ranked women’s side on the planet.</p> <p>They went down 2-1 there in a gutsy display, one that will fill them with belief they have what it takes to see off Colombia who went down 2-0 to the Stars and Stripes.</p> <p>According to head coach Tom Sermanni his chargers are bracing for a more physical contest here than in their first two games, one more in line with the friendlies they played against Brazil at the tail end of last year.</p> <p>They would have learnt plenty of lessons from those two matches and will be looking to apply them here against similar South American opposition.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Matildas vs Colombia Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head (H2H) Prediction</h3> <p>The H2H odds currently slightly favour the Matildas. Despite their tough start to the SheBelieves Cup, their side is still riddled with world class talent.</p> <p>Names like Mary Fowler, Caitlin Foord, Hayley Raso, Ellie Carpenter, Mackenize Arnold and more are all a chance of making an appearance against Colombia and if they do, you’d have to think Australia will have far too much firepower to contend with.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Matildas.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Goal</h3> <p>She’s yet to find the back of the net at this tournament, but you can only keep Mary Fowler quiet for so long.</p> <p>Earmarked as the next superstar of Australian Women’s football, Fowler was in fine touch for her club side Manchester City before linking up with the Tillies and we fancy her to put one in the top corner to break the deadlock here.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Mary Fowler.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Correct Score</h3> <p>Both sides have shown a propensity for conceding goals so far at this tournament and we’re tipping that to continue.</p> <p>We don’t see either side emerging with a clean sheet, but we do see the Tillies emerging with the win in a closely contested battle.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>2-1 Australia.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>How to Watch the Matildas vs Colombia</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Punters are able to watch the Matildas vs Colombia in the SheBelieves Cup live on streaming service Paramount+.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Matildas vs Colombia Time and Details</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Kick-off:</strong> 11:30am AEDT.</p> <p><strong>Date: </strong>Thursday, February 27, 2025.</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong> Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego, California.&nbsp;</p>
