USA Preview
The U.S. team comes after only getting to the round of 16 at Qatar 2022, where they were eliminated by the Netherlands; so now, coach Anthony Hudson is starting to think about what the process will be for the World Cup 2026, in which they will be one of the host teams.
This week, the Americans will face Serbia and Colombia: it will be a series of matches in which they will be looking to bring several young players closer to the national team.
Possible USA lineup (4-3-3): Gabriel Slonina; John Tolkin, Walker Zimmerman, Aaron Long, Julian Gressel; Paxten Aaronson, Kellyn Acosta, Eryk Williamson; Brandon Vazquez; Paul Arriola, Jesús Ferreira.
Colombia Preview
Coach Néstor Lorenzo had to put together an alternative team because this match is not on a FIFA date.
Colombia will be playing without several stars who will be playing in Europe such as Radamel Falcao García, James Rodríguez, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, Luis Díaz, and Luis Muriel. Lorenzo’s call-up list includes players such as Frank Fabra, Cristian Arango, Diego Valoyes, and Jorman Campuzano.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Alvaro Montero; Junior Hernández, Andrés Llinas, Juan David Mosquera, Frank Fabra; Jorman Campuzano, Daniel Cataño, Daniel Ruíz; Cristian Arango, Diego Valoyes, Juan Camilo Hernández.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account that both teams will take the field with alternative rosters, it is very likely to be a very even and close match, in which the most important thing for the coaches is to give international experience to several young players.
On this occasion, at JefeBet we are leaning towards a draw on Saturday night in California.
Prediction: Tie (USA 1-1 Colombia).
