USA vs Wales Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips for World Cup 2022

The opening World Cup match between the United States and Wales will be played at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium. Both teams are looking for a victory after missing out on qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. We anticipate a tie in this match, but either way, it will be an entertaining fight between two top nations. The United States of America and Wales have played twice, with the United States of America winning the first match and the two teams drawing the second match 0-0.

USA

The United States of America is back on the FIFA World Cup stage in Qatar after missing out in 2018. Squeaking into the finals by the skin of their teeth, they finished ahead of Costa Rica thanks to a superior goal differential. Now that they've made it this far, the Stars and Stripes might feel a surge of confidence given their impressive track record at the World Cup, as they've advanced past their group stages in four of the last seven tournaments. After failing to win any of their last three international matches, drawing against El Salvador and Saudi Arabia and losing to Japan 2-0. Gregg Berhalter's side decided against having a warm-up friendly and instead entered the tournament in mediocre shape. While the United States' perfect record versus Wales of one win and a draw should boost morale, the team's recent World Cup record against European opposition has been dismal, as they have no wins in their last nine matches, losing five and drawing four. Despite this, we are rooting for a very different top-class performance from their top players like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, and Timothy Weah, who are expected to make the difference in this match.

Wales

It is a momentous day for Robert Page, who will make history by being the first manager to lead Wales into a World Cup since Jimmy Murphy in 1958. The Welsh defeated Austria and Ukraine to earn a spot in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. With the help of the Red Wall, the Welsh were able to roar through two nerve-wracking play-off games, which allowed them to book their ticket to Qatar. The Welsh may well be confident of advancing from their group, as they did so in both the 2016 and 2020 UEFA European Champions tournaments. Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Daniel James, Harry Wilson, and Kieffer Moore are the big-name players for Wales. Since Wales has not won one of the previous two meetings against the United States, drawing one and losing the other, the Dragons will be hoping to win for the first time in this series. However, they will need to perform at a high level, giving the game everything they've got to play the way they want to and get a win.

This match will be a tricky one. Both teams are average, and we therefore expect them to be strong, especially on defense. We, however, believe the match is going to be tied, as we do not envisage many attacking plays from both teams.
