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.

Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie is ready to return to the lineup for the USMNT after recovering from a thigh injury that he suffered in October.

Page will be hoping Gareth Bale can play a vital role on the big stage ahead of the Wales’ first World Cup appearance in 64 years, despite the fact that the former Real Madrid star has averaged less than 30 minutes on the pitch per game during his stint in MLS with LAFC so far.
Joe Allen is also likely to return to the midfield despite being troubled by injury issues since September.
