🏠 USA: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LWDWW

FIFA Ranking: 16

The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) has won three, lost one, and tied one in its five recent matches. These matches have been friendly games, with the administration testing new instructions, coaching techniques, and player role inclusions.

As September came, the Yanks faced the Korea-Japan duo in a row, with the initial 2-0 game against the Koreans dropping as a bombshell, considered a cause for readjustments. The subsequent 2-0 victory over the Samurai Blues of Japan laid all raised brows to ease.

October saw the clash with their Ecuadorian counterparts relatively difficult, with parity that stretched the limits of the Stars and Stripes till full-time in a game that eventually ended even-steven in a 1-1 parity. The next contest against the Socceroos of Australia was a test of composure, with the side completing a comeback from a one-goal deficit that could have been ugly, having been scored before the first quarter of the game.

As a co-host of the 2026 World Cup games, the USMNT has an automatic slot and will be looking to improve its chances compared to their Qatar exhibition in 2022.

🏁 USA: Lineup

Pochettino’s regime with the United States has been fruitful, with morale in the team at an all-time high. The players respect the coach, who owns the dressing room. GFitness is not a problem, as the matchday squad is well-equipped to do the job perfectly

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-4-1-1); Freese, McKenzie-Richards-Robinson, Weah-Roldan-Sanda-Freeman, Pulisic-Wright-Kennei

👤 Head Coach: Mauricio Pochettino

⛔ Out: Quinn Sullivan, Jack McGlynn, Brian White, Antony Robinson

✈️ Uruguay: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WWWL

Fifa Ranking: 15th

Le Celeste were slow burners in the CONMEBOL, starting poorly against Argentina (0-1), Bolivia (0-0), and Paraguay (0-2) but finishing strongly against Venezuela (2-0), Peru (3-0), and Chile (0-0). With twenty-eight points and a +10 goal differnec, they finished in the fourth place behind Argentina, Ecuador, and Colombia.

The Uruguayans have taken their mission objective very seriously, refusing to lose in the last three friendly games. In the 1-0 victory against the Dominican Republic, tactical experimentations were tested, since it was a low-pressure game. The 2-1 victory against Uzbekistan, however, was a whole different matter as a giant-killing step boosted team confidence. Against the Mexicans, limits were tested, but safety was attained in the 0-0 full-time play.

Their fourth placement in the CONMEBOL guarantees a place for them in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the team is under pressure to perform better after struggling in Qatar 2022, having dropped out in the group stages, finishing third in the preliminary groupings.

🏁 Uruguay: Lineup

Marco Bielsa will be expected to do what his predecessors, including Pablo Quiroga, the previous coach, have done: maintain a stern frame against the USA national team. His players are up to the task, and a likely repeat would be much appreciated by the fan family, who will be travelling for this game.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Israel, Sarrachi-Marichal-Bueno-Rodriguez, Torres-Martinez-Zalazar, Sanbria-Vinas-Amaro

👤 Head Coach: Marcelo Bielsa

⛔ Out: Nil

🎯 USA vs Uruguay Match Prediction November 19, 2025

Contests between countries in the South American continent generally have a tedious quality to them, primarily due to the level of physicality posed by the teams. This physicality most times stretches towards the match having everything (including thrills), except goals.

The USA-Uruguay pairing is unlikely to differ significantly, as we expect fierceness from both sides. I expect that the first half will produce either very few goals or a tight tie. Additionally, the visitors will have a greater advantage for a narrow lead. I also believe that the Uruguayans will score first.

Below are my best predictions:

🔥 Our main prediction is for at least ten corner kicks at a coefficient of 2.37 odds from Bet365

🔥 Our betting tip is for Uruguay to score first at 2.00 odds from Betway

🔥 Our final betting tip is for a BTTS at 1.90 odds from the 1xbet bookmaker.
