USA faces Haiti in round 1 of the Gold Cup. The match will be played on Monday, July 12th at Children's Mercy Park (Kansas City)
The recent international results for the Stars and Stripes were not the most successful, as the US team failed to show decent tournament achievements even at the continental level. The arrival of Gregg Berhalter on the coaching bridge slightly improved the performance of the team, which managed to beat Mexico, Northern Ireland, and Costa Rica in head-to-head matches. In the current roster, there are practically no representatives of European clubs, except for Cannon from Boavista and Hoppe from Schalke. The rest of the American national team players represent the MLS clubs. The coaching staff can count on the great shape of footballers, given the fact that the season in the American Championship is in full swing.

The Haitians did well in the qualifiers for the Gold Cup 2021, beating Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Bermuda on their way to the final stage. Opponents for Pierre's charges were far from the most formidable, given a quite good overall level of the Haiti national team, which has experience of playing at the World Cup. A modest squad, little-known footballers, far from the most experienced coaching staff — this is how Haiti looks now. The Grenadiers will try to take their toll at the expense of pragmatic football, but at the Gold Cup they will have to face much more dangerous opponents than Bermuda.
The course of the upcoming game should be controlled by the Americans, who actively played friendly matches and kept themselves in good shape. Moreover, the human potential of Berhalter's team is an order of magnitude higher than that of Haiti. The match promises to be intense and productive. This is supported by the statistics of past confrontations between the United States and Haiti.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.75 goals scored
