USA has suddenly broken its 14-match unbeaten series with 0:2 defeat to Costa Rica in front of its supporters. This failure has not only stopped the successful run of the American side, but also put under the threat the latter promotion to the Mundial. With seven gameweeks behind, USA shares the third-fourth positions with Honduras in the group table with eight points gained 11-10 goal difference and in case of another failure in the forthcoming battle may be even dropped back to the fifth position. "The Yanks" show disappointing performance at away turfs in this qualification, having got 0:4 loss to Costa Rica alongside with two draws against Panama and Mexico with the same 1:1 scoreline.
Despite the fact that the opponents go side by side in the group table, USA thrashed Honduras 6:0 in the reverse fixture leaving no chances for them. "The Yanks"’ class and level are of course higher but Bruce Arena's side is lacking consistency. The defeat from Costa Rica must make the visitors of the forthcoming clash to pull themselves together, do their best and take points on the road in Honduras.
Prediction for the match: USA to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
