It has been an indifferent period for Mauricio Pochettino’s USA, but the time for talk is over when the CONCACAF Gold Cup gets underway.

With just under a year remaining before the start of the FIFA World Cup, home fans will be demanding a positive showing from the national team this summer, and they will kick off their Gold Cup campaign in Group D against Trinidad and Tobago.

The USA will be heavily favored to kick off their Group D campaign with a win on Sunday. The USMNT have an excellent overall record against their opponents, scoring at least three goals in four of the last five meetings.

However, the latest clash between the nations ended in a shock win for Trinidad and Tobago in the CONCACAF Nations League in November 2023.

Key Stats

  • The USA have reached at least the final in three of the last four editions of the Gold Cup, winning the competitions in 2017 and 2021.
  • Trinidad and Tobago have been eliminated in the group stage in each of the three previous editions of the Gold Cup, winning just one of their nine matches.

USA Team News

Pochettino has named a strong squad for this summer’s Gold Cup, with many of the top stars expected to feature. However, Christian Pulisic is a notable absence, as the winger has been ruled out due to injury.

Possible Lineup

M. Turner (GK); A. Freeman, C. Richards, W. Zimmerman, M. Arfsten, L, De La Torre, T. Adams, B. Aaronson, D. Luna, M. Tillman, B. White

Trinidad and Tobago Team News

Trinidad and Tobago have an aging squad, with Joevin Jones and Marvin Phillip both among the players aged 33 and over. Rael Gill could be handed a start after impressing in recent internationals.

Possible Lineup

D. Smith (GK); A. Jones, S. Bateau, J. Trimmingham, D. Hospedales, R. Gill, K. Molino, D. Phillips, A. Rampersad, T. Spicer, L. Garcia

USA vs. Trinidad and Tobago Picks

The USA’s performances so far this year have been below the standard required, but this summer will give them the perfect opportunity to get back on track ahead of next summer’s World Cup.

As the odds suggest, this should be a mismatch based on the qualities posed by both nations, meaning that it is challenging to overlook a win for the host nation.
