Wales and USA square off in an international friendly at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea on Thursday night. Incredibly, these two nations have only met once before, with the States winning 2-0 in California back in May 2003. The Dragons have come on leaps and bounds since then, though, and the hosts are the favourites to get the win in this one. We have the latest betting odds and tips.

Wales Preview – Dragons to prevail in Swansea?
Wales have been in excellent form of late, losing just one game in the past 16 months. Since a 1-0 reverse to Hungary in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier back in June 2019, last month’s friendly defeat to rivals England at Wembley Stadium remains their only loss.
Ryan Giggs’ boys have been going great guns in the UEFA Nations League this season. The Dragons are top of League B, Group 4, taking ten points from a possible 12. If Finland fail to beat Bulgaria and Wales see off the Republic of Ireland this weekend, the Welsh will secure promotion to League A.
The Cardiff City Stadium has been a fortress for Wales in recent years, so how will they fare at Swansea City’s home on Thursday? The Welsh head into this friendly fixture as the 6/5 favourites with the bookies.
USA Preview – Rusty America to fall to narrow defeat in Wales?
Greg Berhalter’s USA have not played a game of football since February. The States’ last match finished in a 1-0 win over Costa Rica in a friendly. In fact, the Stars and Stripes have been in fine fettle in recent games, winning four of their past five.
Just to be playing football again after the long layoff will delight Berhalter and his boys. Facing an in-form Wales outfit away from home will be a stern test, also. After Thursday’s game in Swansea, America play Panama in Austria on Monday. Will their visit to Europe be a fruitful one?

USA will no doubt have a game plan in Swansea, but we fancy the hosts to edge an entertaining friendly. Check out the tempting price of 7/2 for the Wales win and both teams to score.
