Match Preview

The USMNT will firmly have next summer’s World Cup on their minds, as the home tournament is creeping into sight. America have shown great character in recent months after returning to form last month following a defeat in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final at the hands of Mexico.

The USMNT were excellent in the previous international break after claiming a strong 2-0 win against a talented Japanese side. Pochettino’s side dominated the game, registering eleven shots on target. The goals in the success were netted by Alejandro Zendejas and Folarin Balogun.

Ecuador could be set to upset the odds this week. The South American nation has been in standout form throughout the World Cup qualifying campaign, winning eight of their 18 matches, and suffering a South American-low of just two defeats.

Their quality across the field was apparent in the previous international break after recording a 1-0 success against Argentina. Ecuador restricted the current world champions to just eight shots, and Argentina failed to hit a single effort on target.
