USA vs Mexico Prediction & Betting tips
At the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, the eternal rivals United States and Mexico face each other on Tuesday night. Both countries are looking to the future with a slanted eye and will use this practice inter- country to let talented players smell the real work.
United States:
The United States grabbed surprisingly next to a starting license for the World Cup last summer, which signified a major renovation for the national football association. The country wants to give the upcoming period the opportunity to bring young talent to flourish, hoping to reap the benefits later on. That is why old-timers such as Tim Howard, Jozy Altidore, Geoff Cameron and Michael Bradley are not in the selection. The current selection of USMNT therefore consists mainly of youngsters, of which Timothy Weah (Paris Saint-Germain) and DeAndre Yedlin (Newcastle United) are the best-known names. Club Brugge goalkeeper Ethan Horvath and Fortuna Sittard striker Andrija Novakovich also received an invitation.
Despite this lack of experience, the United States managed to fend off last weekend against five-time world champion Brazil. The 0-2 final score was already on the scoreboard at half time. After the tea, the United States came out better, although the line-up went out. ‘This was a very instructive race,’ said midfielder Wil Trapp.
Mexico:
Mexico also opts for this international period for the youth, because big names like Andres Guardado, Hector Moreno, Javier Hernandez and Carlos Vela have all passed by. El Tri, however, was presented with the bill, because last weekend it lost in the American Houston with no less than 1-4 from the Uruguay of Luis Suarez. “No one is happy when he loses 1-4,” said interim national coach Ricardo Ferretti. “Still, I think I do not have to worry, because we did very well in field play.”
Mexico has something to put right on Tuesday night, the country will be a little less experienced than against Uruguay. Ferretti has already given flavor makers such as Guillermo Ochoa (Standard Liège), Erick Gutierrez and Hirving Lozano (both PSV) permission to return home. Attack Raul Jimenez (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and defender Oswaldo Alanis (Real Oviedo) are now only the only ‘Europeans’ in the Mexican selection, half of whom have less than three international matches behind him.
