Saudi Arabia vs USA: CONCACAF Gold Cup Prediction (20.06.2025)

On June 20, 2025, at 08:15 WIB, the CONCACAF Gold Cup match between Saudi Arabia and the United States will take place at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas. Bookmakers consider the Americans the favorites. Let’s analyze the current form of both teams and share our prediction for the match.

Saudi Arabia

The Saudi national team is struggling in World Cup qualification. They’ve already gone through three stages and finished third again, forcing them into a fourth qualification round. Consistency in results is clearly lacking. In their Gold Cup opener, they faced Haiti. The opponent was modest, so a Saudi win was expected. However, Hervé Renard’s squad had a tough time even in that match. The only goal came from Al-Sherhi via a penalty in the 21st minute. In terms of play, Saudi Arabia lagged behind Haiti: only 43% possession compared to 57%, and 7 shots versus 13.

USA

The USA entered their home Gold Cup after a four-game losing streak, raising some concerns. However, in their opening match against Trinidad and Tobago, they were the clear favorites and lived up to expectations with a dominant 5-0 win. Their next opponent is much stronger and more organized. Both teams are highly motivated, as winning this match would almost guarantee a spot in the playoffs. An additional advantage for the US is the support from home fans.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The last meeting between these teams was a friendly match in 2022, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

Prediction

In the Saudi Arabia vs USA match, our prediction favors the home side. Under Mauricio Pochettino, the American squad looks promising. Their big opening win and home-field support boost their confidence significantly. Therefore, we recommend betting on a USA win with odds of 1.60.
