The USA Women national team is preparing for the 2021 Olympic Games and will have a friendly match against African giants, the Nigerian women national team. USA have a great momentum going to this clash, unbeaten in 41 matches. The only times they failed to win in that run was against Sweden and Korea; both clashes ended 1-1. They go here with four clean sheets in their last five matches and having conceded just one goal. Before this game, they thrashed Jamaica 4-0, making it 14 goals in their last five matches. USA will be glad to have all their key players available; the one to watch will definitely be Manchester United’s Christen Press. She has scored 13 goals and assisted 19 in her last 34 matches for the national team.

Meanwhile, Nigeria will not be heading to the Olympics this time round. They go to this friendly match on the back of two winless outings, the most recent a 3-3 draw with Portugal. Before that, they had suffered a 1-0 loss to Jamaica but they remain a formidable side and will offer good practice for USA. They have five losses in the last 15 matches, which would be considered a lot, compared to USA’s run. Nigeria haven’t done so impressively away from home and heading to this game in Texas, they have only one win in their last seven away matches, and have lost four, while failing to score in four. Assisat Oshoala, the Barcelona forward will be the one to watch in the Nigeria side, coming to this game having aided her team win the UEFA Women Champions League.
