USA and Wales come into the World Cup riding on the back of some poor form. Wales has lost four out of their last six matches with only one win, and the USA has won only two out of their previous six games. This group stage fixture will be where both the teams will look to prove a point and begin their World Cup campaign with an inspiring win.
Things to watch out for
- This is Wales’s first FIFA World Cup appearance in 64 years, and they will be inspired to win their fixtures. Gareth Bale brought glory to the country when he scored the match-winning goal that led Wales to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, and he will want to lead his team through to the next tournament round.
- Team USA will be led by Chelsea star and national hero Christian Pulisic. The prolific winger has five goals in his last ten matches for the USA and will look to open his account against Wales. He will be a threat to the Wales defenders in this fixture.
- Wales is yet to defeat the USA in men’s football, so this may be the perfect opportunity for them to pull off a heist and produce an upset in the World Cup group stages.
