USA

After a string of four consecutive defeats, the United States finally got back on track with a dominant 5-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in their Gold Cup opener on Sunday in San Jose. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino, whose squad is without several key players who ply their trade in Europe, had been under fire following recent losses in friendlies against Turkiye and Switzerland. Now aiming for a record-extending eighth Gold Cup crown, the U.S. turns its attention to upcoming group-stage encounters against Saudi Arabia and Haiti in Group D.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is participating in the first of two consecutive CONCACAF Gold Cup appearances ahead of their role as hosts of the 2034 World Cup. The nation famously stunned the football world by toppling Lionel Messi’s Argentina at the 2022 World Cup. It was one of the most memorable upsets in recent tournament history.

However, replicating that form has proven difficult. Their performances since Qatar have been inconsistent, and qualification for the 2026 World Cup remains uncertain. They opened 2025 with a promising run of three wins from four fixtures but suffered a confidence-draining 2-1 defeat to Australia in their final outing before the Gold Cup began.

The Green Falcons kicked off their campaign in San Diego on Monday. A pivotal 1-0 triumph over Haiti at Snapdragon Stadium, claiming their first points in Group D. Saleh Al-Shehri converted a 21st-minute penalty to secure the win. It set the tone for what could be a pivotal stretch for Hervé Renard’s side.

As they prepare for a crucial showdown against group leaders the United States, Saudi Arabia's path to the Round of 16 remains very much alive. With only the top two in each group advancing, every result matters—especially in what is their maiden appearance in the regional tournament, granted by special invitation from CONCACAF.

Prediction and Betting Picks

These two sides have met only once in recent memory. It was a goalless stalemate played in September 2022 that offered little in the way of excitement. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the United States faces growing expectations to deliver meaningful performances and build fan confidence. Saudi Arabia don't pose the toughest challenge on paper and this encounter presents a valuable opportunity for the U.S. to assert control and secure all three points.

CONCACAF Gold Cup

The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup marks the tournament’s 18th installment. It's the premier men’s football competition for national teams across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Jointly hosted by the United States and Canada, this year’s edition kicked off on June 14. It will conclude with the championship match on July 6 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Most of the fixtures are being staged in Western U.S. cities to minimize overlap with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which is taking place simultaneously—predominantly on the East Coast.
