At last year's inaugural Tournament of Nations, Australia shocked the U.S. in their opening match by claiming a 1-0 victory.
They went on to beat Japan and Brazil to win the competition in impressive fashion.
After securing a fourth consecutive win in the tournament on Thursday, Alen Stajcic's side will be confident of causing another upset in Connecticut against the world's top-ranked side.
The U.S. not be complacent because they know firsthand of the threat the Matildas offer. However, Jill Ellis' Stars and Stripes must still go into Sunday's clash as favourites.
Since losing to Australia in last year's tournament, Team USA have been on a 17-match unbeaten run—15 of which they have won.
They also have their biggest stars in fine form.
Orlando Pride's Morgan has been fantastic of late on the international scene:
Meanwhile, 33-year-old Megan Rapinoe, who got a goal and an assist against Japan, is arguably showing some of the best form of her career.
When the pair are on the attack, along with the likes of Christen Press and Lindsey Horan, they are close to unstoppable.
Australia are a fine side with recent experience of beating the United States.
But their defence can be got at, and assuming Morgan and Rapinoe are on form again, the hosts should edge Sunday's clash.
Prediction: USA 2-1 Australia
