Mexico vs United States Squad Insight
The managers will count on their best 11 men for the job.
Mexico’s Lineup
Guillermo Ochoa ages like a fine wine. He conceded only one goal in the last three games for Mexico and is expected to start in this very important game. With two consecutive clean sheets, the defenders Cesar Montes and Nestor Araujo deserve praise for Mexico’s good defensive performances as well as they allowed only five shots to get past them in the last two games.
US’ Lineup
Christian Pulisic is undoubtedly the main threat for Mexico in this game. He is the most expensive US player and is supplying constant pressure for the opposition’s defense. He scored in the last game against Honduras. The defensive midfielder Tyler Adams deserves praise as he bossed the midfield in the last few games.
