USA vs Uzbekistan Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
The United States host Uzbekistan for this international friendly matchup in St. Louis. The Americans will be looking for a positive result after a disappointing semi-final exit to Panama in the Gold Cup in their last appearance. However, it was largely the B and C squad that took part in that tournament. The United States will name a much stronger squad in this friendly that is closer to the first choice 11 that won the CONCACAF Nations League in June. The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) will have an eye on the start of their World Cup qualifying campaign starting in March of 2024. Since their round of 16 defeat in the 2022 World Cup, the USMNT has played in 12 fixtures across all competitions. They’ve lost only once after the end of 90 minutes during that stretch, winning six games with the remaining five ending in stalemates.
Uzbekistan ranks 74th in the world according to FIFA, putting them 63 spots behind the United States who hold the 11th spot. The Uzbeks last took to the field in June where they would suffer a 1-0 home defeat to Iran. The loss snapped a positive run of form for Uzbekistan, who were on a six match unbeaten run and had previously won back-to-back games. Their last competitive fixtures came in June of 2022 which saw Uzbekistan win three straight in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. Similar to the USA, Uzbekistan will be using these friendly matches to tune up for the start of their World Cup qualifiers. They kick off their quest for a 2026 World Cup spot in November of this year against Turkmenistan.

Our USA vs Uzbekistan Prediction
There are plenty of exciting attacking talents in this young, exciting USA squad bursting with potential. The 2026 World Cup being played on their home soil will surely be a pivotal moment for United States soccer moving forward. Pulisic, Balogun, McKennie, Musah and Dest will likely all take to the field here, providing a huge challenge for Uzbekistan to overcome. The visitors have put up respectable results recently but the majority of their wins have come against much worse-ranked opposition than the quality they’re up against today. The United States should be able to record a rather comfortable win here by a margin of at least two goals. Our USA vs Uzbekistan prediction is USA on the -1 European handicap.
