On Saturday, the USMNT will welcome Uzbekistan for the first of two friendlies to be played over the next few days. This will be Team USA's first match since their elimination in this summer's Gold Cup, and the first match for Gregg Berhalter since he was last in charge of the squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. For the hosts, these upcoming games will serve as a test to see what should be the strongest squad ahead of a crunch clash in November, which will determine whether the USMNT qualify for the 2024 Copa America competition.
Although the USMNT's upcoming opponents Uzbekistan are ranked at just 74th as per FIFA (as opposed to the USA's 11th), the team, nicknamed the White Wolves by their fans, have had a good start to 2023. They come into this contest having lost just one of their last six games, and Serie A fans will likely be familiar with the talent of Eldor Shomurodov, who's his country's all-time top goalscorer and has plied his trade for Genoa, Roma, and most recently, Cagliari.
The USMNT will be keen on redeeming themselves after their disappointing Gold Cup campaign that saw them shockingly lose to Panama in the semi-finals, and despite missing quite a few players due to club commitments, are the natural favorites to pick up a vital win in this upcoming tie. Certainly, Uzbekistan, who have lost just one game so far in 2023, will look to pose a threat but all in all, the hosts should be able to see this match over the finish line.
