​International Friendly -- Saudi Arabia vs USA Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Tuesday's friendly match between Saudi Arabia and the USA at Spain's Estadio Nueva Condomina.

 

Saudi Arabia

Ecuador held The Green to a scoreless draw. Saudi Arabia scored 34 goals during their 2022 qualifying campaign, the fewest of the six Asian countries who qualified for Qatar. They may be having trouble scoring goals, but they have played solid defense for conceding one goal or fewer in 11 of their previous 12 games.

 

USA

The US suffered their first defeat in five games, falling to Japan 2-0. Many people are still unsure about who will start as the USA's number nine when their World Cup campaign gets off, given they have only been able to score one goal or less in three of their past four games. They had won their previous 34 out of their previous 39 games.

 

Prediction

The most recent games between opposing teams were dull. This is particularly true of Saudi Arabia, which have gone three games without scoring. In their recent meeting with Japan, the USA also have no objectives. There is a low likelihood that the future game will be a success.

 

 

Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
