USA vs Trinidad and Tobago prediction and betting tips on November 17, 2023
Game Prediction
This week marks the commencement of the "FIFA window." Various continents employ it differently. In North America, the decision was made to hold quarterfinal matches of the local Nations League. There, the USA hosts Trinidad and Tobago. What can the guests in Austin anticipate? An exclusive forecast for the match on November 17, 2023, is presented to the website's audience.
The USA has recently encountered numerous setbacks.
"The Stars and Stripes" managed to return to the World Cup in 2018, having sensationally missed the final "ticket." However, in Qatar, their journey concluded with a sole victory over Iran. Yet, even with these 1-0 triumphs, combined with draws against the USA and Wales, it was sufficient to advance to the playoffs. However, in the Round of 16, the Dutch defeated them 1-3. In 2023, there were both successes (victory in the previous Nations League) and failures (elimination in the Golden Cup semifinal). Currently, an experienced squad is assembled, albeit lacking a couple of stars led by captain Pulisic.
Trinidad and Tobago aren't particularly esteemed even at the regional level.
The "Soca Warriors" have only played in a World Cup once, in 2006. Before and, more importantly, after that, they have failed to qualify for the final stages of such tournaments. Moreover, they haven't made it to the top three in the Gold Cup since 2000. In 2017, they didn't even qualify for that tournament, and they missed out in all three subsequent editions, including this summer. However, they managed to win three out of four group stage matches in the Nations League. Ultimately, despite a 3-5 loss to Curaçao, they secured a spot in the playoffs but had to settle for second place, narrowly relinquishing the lead to Panama in the final moments. As a result, they now have to face the main favorite, the United States, in the quarterfinals.
Previous matches
Trinidad and Tobago have only secured 1 victory in their last 9 matches. During this period, the "Yanks" emerged victorious 7 times, including in all three recent encounters. In the summer, in the Gold Cup, there was even a 6-0 win.
