Уелс постигна историческо класиране за Мондиал 2022 след над 60 години пауза. Първият съперник за тази страна на форума е САЩ.
Гостите ще се раздадат
Както знаем, звездите на Уелс винаги се раздават максимално за своята страна и това доведе до чудесни представяния на европейски първенства, както и до настоящето класиране. За Гарет Бейл и Аарън Рамзи това беше последен шанс за достигане до световен Мондиал, така че те ще искат да го грабнат на 100%.
САЩ е люопитен първи съперник, на свой ред. Американците доста се развиха във футболно отношение през последните години и вече произведоха някои доста големи таланти, играещи на високо ниво в Европа. Разбира се, далеч сме от времето, в което този тим ще има някакви сериозни амбиции. В този мач обаче шансовете са 50:50 сякаш.
Залог за гол/гол и Х
Клоня повече към Уелс, но един голов хикс не изглежда изключен.
On Monday night, USA and Wales go head-to-head at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in both teams opening game in Group B of the 2022 World Cup.
USA form guideThe USMT will be taking part in their tenth World Cup in Qatar. Greg Berhalter’s squad has the youngest average age of any of the nations at the World Cup, but there is still plenty of experience within the squad.
Their greatest achievement at a World Cup came way back in the first World Cup that took place in 1930 when they made the semi-finals of the competition, beating then-mighty England along the way. The furthest the USA has progressed in recent years was making the quarter-finals in 2002.
Their recent form has not been great, as the USA has won just one of their previous five international games. One positive of late is that the USA has kept four clean sheets in their last six matches.
Wales form guideThe Dragons will be taking part in only their second-ever World Cup, with their last appearance coming way back in 1958 when they made it to the quarter-finals in Sweden.
Robert Page’s team has not enjoyed the best of runs heading into this World Cup opener. In fact, they are winless in five internationals, having suffered four defeats in the run. Wales have also kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 games.
They have only faced the USA on two previous occasions, which were both friendly matches. The games yielded one goalless draw in 2020 and a 2-0 loss in 2003.
What am I backing?This game could be a tight one and maybe low-scoring. I am backing the draw in this clash, as neither team is in great form, and neither will want to make a losing start to their campaign.
