Ron Sirak says that "based on recent form, the European side is coming into this competition playing better golf than the Americans."
John Huggan is predicting a U.S. win because "by almost every statistical measure the American side is superior." He also notes this oddity about the European team:
The U.S. side also has one more "secret" weapon up its collective sleeve in the shape of a "spy" in the European camp. Whisper it, but one of captain Alison Nicholas' two assistant captains is actually an American citizen.

So perhaps we can give her the benefit of any doubt.
