USA vs Switzerland: Friendly Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

On Tuesday at Geodis Park in Nashville, the United States will host Switzerland in a friendly match just days before the CONCACAF Gold Cup begins.

In Saturday's friendly match against Turkey, the Americans let a 1-0 lead slip away, ultimately falling 2-1. Meanwhile, the A-Team cruised to a 4-2 victory against Mexico.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

The United States faced Turkey in a match that ended in a narrow loss, marking the first time Mauricio Pochettino has suffered three consecutive defeats since Jurgen Klinsmann in 2015.

The US allowed two goals in two minutes and twenty-two seconds, matching their quickest goal against a UEFA opponent and their fastest goal surrendered since a November 2018 friendly against England. The US national team has lost their past six matches by a single goal and has allowed at least one goal in four of their five games this season.

The US has lost five consecutive matches against European teams, with its last victory against a UEFA team dating back to December 2021. Swiss play was spot on for a second straight match, scoring four goals from six attempts against Mexico. The Swiss under Murat Yakin have been on fire, scoring seven goals in their last two games and six in a row.

The US has only managed one victory in the last seven matches played as the visiting side in all tournaments. Last year's 3-2 loss to Spain in the UEFA Nations League was the first time the squad has lost when scoring multiple goals since November 2015.

USA vs Switzerland Team News

Philadelphia Union teammates Nathan Harriel and Quinn Sullivan made history in their match against Turkey by becoming the first American duo to debut as seniors in the exact game outside of the December-January training camp since Tim Ream and Juan Aguedelo of the New York Red Bulls in November 2010.

In addition to Alexander Freeman and Matt Freese, Pochettino handed out their maiden international caps to Damion Downs, Sebastian Berhalter, and Chris Brady, all of whom will be looking to make their debuts on Tuesday.

Midfielder Jack McGlynn, who plays for Houston Dynamo, scored the lone goal for the Yankees on Saturday. This was McGlynn's second goal since playing for the American squad.

Johan Manzambi became the first Swiss player to earn a senior cap, while Marvin Keller is the lone player selected for this window who has yet to make an appearance.

This past weekend, Switzerland's defender Silvan Widmer made 50 appearances for the national team, while Granit Xhaka now has 136 caps, eight more than Ricardo Rodriguez, who holds the record.

The last time these two teams met, Breel Embolo, Zeki Amdouni, Dan Ndoye, and Fabien Rieder all scored goals—Rieder's being the first on an international level.

No matter what lineup Pochettino uses, the United States is unable to score, and they may be in for another nasty awakening against a Swiss team that is well-drilled and has great offensive third players.
