The United States will look to continue their recent domination against Mexico on Wednesday when they meet in an international friendly. The game will be a tune-up for their Concacaf Nations League semifinal in June. The Americans have won three of the past four meetings with Mexico, with the teams battling to a 0-0 draw in a FIFA World Cup qualifying match in March 2022. Mexico last defeated the United States 3-0 in an international friendly in September 2019.
Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The United States is listed at +135 (risk $100 to win $135) on the money-line, while Mexico is +200.

Why you should back the USMNT
Helping power the offense for the United States is forward Jordan Morris. The 28-year-old has appeared in 51 matches for the U.S., and has 11 goals scored. Last June, his goal helped the Americans escape with a 1-1 draw with El Salvador in Nations League action. Morris is a member of the Seattle Sounders of the MLS and, in eight seasons with the Sounders, has 50 goals in 144 appearances.
Also expected to play a key role for the U.S. is forward Jesus Ferreira. The 22-year-old has played in 17 matches for the Americans, scoring seven goals.

Why you should back Mexico
Since losing 2-0 to Argentina in the 2022 World Cup, El Tri have gone 2-0-1, which includes a 2-2 draw with Jamaica on March 26. Helping lead the offense is midfielder Uriel Antuna, who has nine goals in 40 appearances for the Mexican national team. Antuna scored one goal in a 4-0 friendly win over Iraq in November prior to the World Cup. The 25-year-old is a member of Cruz Azul of Liga MX. In 32 matches with the club this season, he has six goals.
Midfielder Alexis Vega is also a scoring threat for Mexico. Prior to the World Cup, he had posted goals in back-to-back friendly matches. He scored in the fourth minute in the win over Iraq, and followed that up by posting Mexico’s lone goal in the 60th-minute of a 2-1 loss to Sweden. Vega, 25, is in his fifth season with Guadalajara of Liga MX. In 122 matches over that stretch, he has scored 24 times. See which team to pick here.
