Ghana, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat at the weekend since Chris Hughton took over at the helm in February, Despite fielding a strong XI, they failed to register a shot on target. Joseph Aidoo was taken off the pitch in the first half with an injury and is likely to sit out this one.
Hughton is expected to start Jordan Ayew to add attacking flair and also make a change in the backline, with Aidoo sidelined.
The two teams are meeting for the first time since 2017. USA have won their last two games against Ghana, and considering their home advantage, they should win again.
