Northern Ireland vs USA Predictions

• USA have won seven of their last eight matches.
• Northern Ireland haven’t won any of their last six home fixtures.
• Northern Ireland are expected to rotate their team heavily between competitive games.

USA worth backing at Windsor Park

Northern Ireland squeeze a friendly encounter with USA in between two crucial World Cup qualification tussles this week, and with more pressing concerns either side of their clash with The Stars and Stripes, the host’s could be worth opposing at Windsor Park.

The United States will take a strong squad to Belfast on Sunday that includes Chelsea schemer Christian Pulisic, highly-rated Werder Bremen striker Josh Sargent and Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Giovanni Reyna – and Gregg Berhalter’s charges have the technical talents to make life tough for Northern Ireland on Sunday.

The hosts are almost certain to rotate heavily ahead of their more important Group C skirmish with Bulgaria on Wednesday, and with a weakened XI on show, USA can take advantage.

With seven wins from their last eight assignments, Berhalter’s take good form into Sunday’s game, and our 2-1 correct score prediction suggests they are worth backing to add another victory to their impressive sequence at Windsor Park.
