Placed in League A Group 4, Wales managed just one point from six matches. They went through the entire group phase without securing a single victory.
United States will be looking to put behind their recent inconsistent run of form by starting the World Cup on a positive note against Wales. The Monday night contest in Group B will be an intriguing one since both sides are not entering this clash in the best of forms. They have been struggling to hit the required heights in recent matches, however, the World Cup is a totally different ball game. Teams up their game when they enter this competition, hence the same can be expected from these two nations.

Wales had a poor time in the Nations League, as they struggled to find any sort of rhythm. Placed in League A Group 4, Wales managed just one point from six matches. They went through the entire group phase without securing a single victory – not an ideal preparation for the World Cup. On the other hand, the United States are winless in their last three games. It also includes a 2-0 loss to Japan. They will hope to put that disappointing run behind them and will look to qualify from their group in Qatar.

With not having such a long history between them, it will be interesting to see how these two sides fare in their opening World Cup game.
