Qatar 2022 will be the 10th time the Yanks are playing in the World Cup. They missed out on the 2018 edition and barely qualified for this edition after they finished 3rd in the CONCACAF ,being in the top five in the world rankings saw the US national team get a pass to the final round and qualified due to goal difference. USA are favorites to win this match.
The Dragons will be playing in their first World Cup since their last appearance in 1958. Wales qualified through the playoffs after finishing second place in group E . Their last 5 matches were played in the Nations League and they lost 4 of those 5 matches.Their chances of making it out of the group are slim.
1st Half < 2nd Half – 2.18
A safe bet for this fixture will be for more goals to be scored in the second half of this fixture. This carries odds of 2.18 and based on the performance of both teams in their last matches, has a high possibility of occurring.The two score most of their goals in the second half of the matches they have played.
USA’s Luca de la Torre is facing some discomfort but this is not a major injury and he will be available to participate should the need be.Wales Joe Allen has made it to the final squad but just recently recovered from hamstring injury and might not be fully fit for this match.
