Sporting News: US 2 Saudi Arabia 1
It writes: “Saudi Arabia are a much better side than many of the CONCACAF opponents the U.S. are used to facing in the early stages of the Gold Cup. However, on home soil, the U.S. should manage to win this match, especially considering how Saudi Arabia were challenged quite hard by Haiti in their opener. There’s a chance this match ends in a draw, which both sides will benefit from, but a win is on the table for the U.S. if they play well enough to snatch it.”
