The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Friday's World Cup Qualifying - North Central America clash between USA and El Salvador, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: USA 1-0 El Salvador

 Even though they more than held their own in their last match versus the Americans, El Salvador are a different team away from home, while the United States have squeaked out several points in the Octagon because of their individual quality, which could win them this game as well. Expect to see La Selecta play with a lot of physicality, while trying to throw the skilled Americans off their game with lots of fouls and hacks, but you have to think that the US should still have enough to collect three points.
