USA lost 1:2 to Canada in a friendly match a few days ago, registering their third consecutive loss, which has not happened for many years. Now, however, they have the opportunity to return to their winning ways and justify their role as favorites, after struggling against tougher opponents, as seen at the Copa America this summer.
New Zealand lost 0:3 to Mexico in a friendly match over the weekend, showing once again that they are below the level of these types of teams. USA also falls into this category, but the visitors hope for a more worthy performance this time. Otherwise, New Zealand does not have many successful matches and has scored under 2.5 goals in seven out of their last eight friendly matches outside of Oceania.
Prediction: USA to win and under 3.5 goalsI expect USA to return to victories here, although we are unlikely to see a very convincing success, as once again New Zealand may have a not very successful match.
