USA vs Wales Preview & Prediction

Seemingly fighting for second spot behind England with Iran, both Wales and USA know the importance of avoiding defeat in this clash.

After missing out on Russia 2018, USA are back on the world stage four years later – but they qualified by the skin of their teeth, finishing above Costa Rica on goal difference.

With the likes of Christian Pulisic, Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie leading the way, USA have a young squad at their disposal, with their average age just 24.2 years.

It will be interesting to see how USA perform, although they don’t have a good record at the World Cup against European opposition, failing to win any of their last nine meetings.

Meanwhile, Wales are back in the World Cup for the first time since 1958, where they advance to the quarter-finals before going down to eventual champions Brazil, who had the legendary Pele in their side.

Wales like to defend and play on the counter, with the Dragons surviving two tense playoffs against Austria and Ukraine to secure their ticket to Qatar.

Gareth Bale netted two of Wales’ three goals in the playoffs and will be the main man for his side as they look to replicate their recent Euro 2020 run to the last 16.

VERDICT:

Tough game to call. USA weren’t convincing in qualifying and don’t have a good record against European nations at the World Cup, while Wales lack overall firepower outside of Bale.

We wouldn’t be surprised to see a share of the spoils as both teams try to avoid defeat, while Under 2.5 goals is our best bet. The last meeting between these teams resulted in a 0-0 stalemate, while USA have seen Under 2.5 goals in four of their last five games. With Wales tipped to defend, another low-scoring affair looks on the cards (Best Under 2.5 total goals odds $1.70 with bet365.)
