USA vs New Caledonia prediction

USA’s senior squad have struggled badly of late, drawing the ire of fans. It would be a real boost to the nation if their U-20’s could make a deep run in this tournament and they’ve been afforded a favourable starting fixture. New Caledonia have never qualified for the competition before and this serves as a great learning opportunity for them and their players.

However, this USA side boasts a significant amount of young talent and with substantial investment behind them, they are all geared up to perform well. Expect USA to dominate the vast majority of this contest and they should overwhelm the backline of New Caledonia and break through them more than once over the course of 90 minutes. Therefore, back a USA victory by at least two clear goals.
