Since Pochettino took over as manager of the US national team, the fruits of his labor are yet to be seen. The Argentine coach is on the verge of the country's most important World Cup; the USA will be co-hosts and have only two preparatory matches left, against Senegal and Germany, before their debut in the tournament. Pochettino has called on his players to approach these two friendlies as if they were the World Cup itself.
The friendly will be in Charlotte, and the Senegalese aren't coming for a stroll, as players like Pape Gueye have stated unequivocally that their goal is to win the World Cup. However, the United States has a very good record against African opponents in its history, having beaten them 12 times in the past. This US team is arguably the most talented and experienced generation of footballers in the country. A single glance reveals the quality of its players: Pulisic, McKennie, Dest, and Tyler Adams.
Even so, the same could be said of the Senegalese, who not only arrive at the next World Cup after having their Africa Cup of Nations title snatched away in a highly controversial fashion but also arrive occupying the top spot in the FIFA rankings, at #14, and their squad is almost entirely composed of players who play in the top five European leagues; as many as seven Premier League players answered Pape Thiaw's call.

Our USA vs Senegal Prediction
The upcoming friendly promises to be an enticing clash between the 16th- and 14th-ranked teams in the FIFA rankings. Under Pochettino, the United States has been known for playing effective attacking football, but defensive lapses are common.
This match is a high-pressure scenario for the US national team after years of disappointment and failing to capture titles or make a significant impact in World Cups. Senegal comes into this match emboldened by their performance in the Africa Cup of Nations, where they defeated Egypt in the semifinals and, were it not for the chaos that unfolded in the final, would likely have been crowned champions against Morocco.
Our prediction for USA vs Senegal is: Senegal to win tie no bet.
