Saudi Arabia vs USA Prediction
Arabian Falcons won their debut game in the Gold Cup while keeping a clean sheet and will look to build on that form. Notably, they have failed to score in their last two games in this fixture, which is a cause for concern.
The Stars and Stripes made the most of their home support last week and registered a memorable 5-0 win in their campaign opener. They have scored in all but two meetings against Saudi Arabia and are expected to find the back of the net here.
Mauricio Pochettino is likely to field a similar starting XI from the campaign opener.
The two teams have met just once in the 21st century and that meeting in 2022 ended in a goalless draw. The home advantage will be a huge factor for the USMNT, and we back them to eke out a narrow win.
