USA have been in a fine form in 2019, with the Yanks proving their worth in three consecutive wins over the likes of Panama, Costa Rica and Ecuador. Gregg Berhalter’s charges will play yet another friendly in front of home fans on Sunday as they welcome Venezuela at their Nipper Stadium. Jozy Altidore is on the twilight of his career, but he is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition back-line.
La Vinotinto continue preparations for the 2019 Copa America and, no doubt, coach Rafael Dudamel will use upcoming friendly games to test as many players as possible. A man to watch in the away side will be Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon, who scored 11 goals in the Premier League last season. Anyhow, seeing that the Yanks play well in front of home fans, we believe that the visitors will return home empty-handed from the trip to Ohio.
