The United States men's national team (USMNT) are set to face Wales in their 2022 World Cup opening match in Group B at the Al Rayyan Stadium in Qatar on Monday. The USMNT are winless in their last three matches, which included two friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia, but will look to start their World Cup campaign on a strong note.
Wales have it even worse when it comes to form. They have not won a single game since June 2022, when they beat Ukraine to qualify for the World Cup, and Rob Page will want to end his team's run of three consecutive defeats and announce their arrival in Qatar with a win.
