USA vs Senegal prediction
Mauricio Pochettino has faced criticism for his handling of his USMNT selection for this summer and the Argentine has to be under pressure with a very tough couple of years since his appointment after the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa America.
Senegal have an extremely strong side and head into North America as one of the leading African sides, albeit in a tough group alongside the likes of France and Norway. The Lions of Teranga had their CAF Africa Cup of Nations title stripped a couple of months ago due to their protests in the final against Morocco.
Pape Thiaw and Senegal are in the middle of a controversy against their FA but they still appear a more settled and well grooved side in comparison to their hosts.
USA vs Senegal tip: Double chance – Senegal to win or draw
