USMNT vs Morocco preview & predictions

The USMNT will be hard at work preparing for the World Cup, so there is no chance they take the matchup against Morocco lightly. Much to a surprise, Gregg Berhalter has already hinted at the probable Starting XI for the match, which can be seen below.

The lineup will include some notable stars including Premier League star Christian Pulisic and recent Leeds capture Brenden Aaronson, as well as Arsenal goalie Matt Turner.

It looks to be a formidable starting lineup for the USMNT, as Berhalter is getting his final evaluations in before the group reconvenes in the Winter for the World Cup. We're expecting the offense to look to jump out to an early advantage and get on the board shortly after the opening whistle. From that point, the USMNT will keep its foot on the gas as its attackers look to impress Berhalter with a strong showing on Wednesday evening.

Morocco will be looking to put on a showing themselves ahead of their sixth-ever trip to the World Cup. Led by talented players such as Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi, the Moroccan side should not be underestimated ahead of the friendly bout against the United States. While the lineup for Morocco has yet to be revealed, the side is coming off a 4-1 win over DR Congo in its last game back in late March.

These teams are closely ranked according to FIFA's official Men's World Rankings, with the United States coming in at 15th and Morocco sitting in 24th. Both sides will be looking to make a statement ahead of the World Cup, so we're expecting a high-intensity match, during which the United States will pull away with a win.
