The USA will look to extend its current five-match unbeaten run against Mexico and secure a spot in the CONCACAF Nations League title match as the Americans welcome them to Las Vegas. And judging by the players who have been invited to the national team for this tournament, it seems that they have a really good chance to achieve that. The USA has a very young team that is made up of players who play in big world clubs and have an important role in those teams. In the last few years, they have raised the quality, not only of club football, which could also be seen at the World Cup in Qatar. For me personally, they left a very good impression and managed to secure passage from the group stage, but they were eliminated by the Netherlands, who at that moment were a really better team. Despite the fact that there will be no players like Tim Ream and Tyler Adams in the team, the USA will have a much stronger lineup than Mexico in this match. Christian Pulisic, Timothy Weah, Giovanni Reyna, Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi are expected to be in the team from the first minute. In defense, there are players like Dest and Robinson, who can cause big problems on the flanks with their speed and penetration. In addition to all of them, Mexico will also face a great danger from the debutant for the USA, Folarin Balogun. Balogun decided to play for the USA instead of England, which makes this team even stronger. The great attacker had an excellent season in Reims, in which he was by far the team's top scorer with 21 goals. For the sake of comparison, the top scorer of the French league was Mbappe with 29 goals. With such a form and with the desire to prove himself in front of the home fans, he will really be a big threat for the visitors' goal.

As for Mexico, they have been considered a very difficult team for years, whose game is characterized by great combativeness along with several very talented individuals. Unlike the USA, they did not manage to pass the group at the World Cup, but only because of the goal difference. What can be crucial for this match is the huge number of absences of key players of this national team. Jesus Manuel Corona, Hirving Lozano, Raul Jimenez, Hector Herrera, Erick Gutierrez and Hector Moreno will be out of the team and this can be considered a big blow for the team. In the current roster, only Uriel Antuna has a double-digit number of goals for the national team, which speaks volumes for how weakened they will be for this match, primarily in attack. When you add that Mexico have conceded at least a goal in 5 of the last 7 outings in all competitions, including 2 in the weekend's friendly against Cameroon, it really seems that they will have difficulties on both sides of the field. The difference in the strength of the lineup for this game is without a doubt on the home team's side and I expect that they will be able to use it.

美国队希望能延续目前对墨西哥队的五场不败纪录，并确保在中北美和加勒比地区国家联赛的冠军争夺战中获得一席之地，美国人将在拉斯维加斯欢迎他们。从被邀请到国家队参加这次比赛的球员来看，他们似乎有很好的机会实现这一目标。美国有一支非常年轻的球队，由在世界豪门踢球的球员组成，他们在那些球队中扮演着重要的角色。在过去的几年里，他们不仅提高了俱乐部足球的质量，在卡塔尔世界杯上也可以看到这一点。对我个人来说，他们给我们留下了很好的印象，并且设法从小组赛出线，但是他们被荷兰队淘汰了，荷兰队在当时确实是一支更好的球队。尽管没有蒂姆·雷姆和泰勒·亚当斯这样的球员，但在这场比赛中，美国的阵容将比墨西哥强得多。克里斯蒂安·普利西奇、蒂莫西·维阿、乔瓦尼·雷纳、韦斯顿·麦肯尼和里卡多·佩皮预计将在第一分钟就进入阵容。在防守端，有像戴斯特和罗宾逊这样的球员，他们的速度和突破可以在侧翼制造大问题。除了所有这些，墨西哥还将面临来自美国首次亮相的弗拉林·巴洛贡的巨大威胁。巴洛根决定为美国队而不是英格兰队效力，这使得这支球队更加强大。这位伟大的攻击手在兰斯度过了一个出色的赛季，在这个赛季中，他以21个进球成为球队的头号射手。为了便于比较，法甲射手王是姆巴佩，打进29球。有了这样的状态和在主场球迷面前证明自己的欲望，他将成为客队进球的巨大威胁。

对于墨西哥来说，多年来他们一直被认为是一支很难对付的球队，他们的比赛特点是非常好斗，而且有几个非常有天赋的球员。与美国队不同的是，他们在世界杯上未能从小组出线，只是因为净胜球的差距。对这场比赛至关重要的是国家队主力球员的大量缺阵。赫苏斯·曼努埃尔·科罗娜、海林·洛萨诺、劳尔·希门尼斯、赫克托·埃雷拉、埃里克·古铁雷斯和赫克托·莫雷诺将缺席比赛，这对球队来说是一个巨大的打击。在目前的阵容中，只有乌列尔·安图纳在国家队的进球数达到两位数，这充分说明了他们在这场比赛中的实力有多弱，主要是在进攻端。当你再加上墨西哥在最近7场比赛中有5场至少丢球，包括周末对喀麦隆的2场友谊赛时，看起来他们在球场两边都有困难。毫无疑问，本场比赛主队的阵容实力有所不同，我希望他们能够利用这一点。
