The International Friendly match between USA vs Ghana will take place at Geodis Park on Wednesday at 6:00 am IST.
Ghana and the USA are set to meet for the first time in the United States in a friendly match at GEODIS Park in Nashville on Tuesday evening. In their recent matches, the US team conceded three goals without reply, leading to a 3-1 loss to Germany, while the Ghanaian national team experienced a 2-0 defeat against Mexico.
In a missed opportunity against a football powerhouse, the United States suffered a setback on Saturday. It marked only the second time in over two years that they lost a match after taking an initial lead. This loss was the first under manager Gregg Berhalter’s current tenure and their first defeat since his return. The team had only experienced consecutive losses once in recent years, both against Mexico. Their track record against African opponents has been solid, with four consecutive wins and just one goal conceded. Notably, the US team has scored in their last 13 home matches, with six seeing them net three or more goals.
Ghana had a disappointing start to the international window, failing to muster a single shot on target in their loss to Mexico. They’ve struggled against CONCACAF opponents, with only one win (against Nicaragua in September 2022) in their last four encounters. Their recent defeat against Mexico was their first loss since Chris Hughton became their manager in February 2023. Under Hughton’s leadership, Ghana has been slow to score first-half goals, but they’ve shown resilience, coming back to secure wins or draws after conceding first. Despite a history of success against the USA, they’ve lost their last two meetings by a 2-1 scoreline.
USA probable starting lineup: Turner, Jones, Richards, Robinson, Dest, McKennie, Musah, De la Torre, Pepi, Balogun, Pulisic
Ghana probable starting lineup: Ati-Zigi, Lamptey, Aidoo, Seidu, Mensah, Samed, Partey, Owusu, Kudus, Paintsil, J. Ayew
