The US men's national team will look to continue their winning run in the March international window as they aim to secure a spot in the Concacaf Nations League Finals by taking on El Salvador in their League A, Group D finale on Monday. The match will be held on home soil, and a win or draw should be enough to seal their place in the semifinals after already securing a spot in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup.
Sitting atop Group D with seven points, the USMNT will look to build on their impressive 7-0 victory over Grenada in their last match. They have won two games and drawn one in their three group games so far and will be eager to secure back-to-back victories for the first time since November 2021.
Despite having only lost once in 27 meetings with El Salvador, the Yanks will be wary of their opponents after they held them to a 1-1 draw in their last encounter. A win for El Salvador could see them leapfrog the Americans to top the group and secure a place in the Nations League Finals.
La Selecta have already secured their spot in this summer's Gold Cup and will be hoping to cause an upset by winning and topping the group. Needless to say, they will face a tough challenge against a strong USMNT side who are heavy favorites to win. They have only managed scrappy draws at home against the Americans in two of their last three meetings, but winning on American soil will be a tougher test.
Head coach Hugo Pérez's team will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss against Honduras in their last match, having lost their previous three matches since their draw against the USMNT in June 2022. They have also struggled to score, managing only one goal in their last three defeats against Peru, Nicaragua, and Honduras.
Overall, the match promises to be a fascinating encounter, with both teams fighting for a place in the Nations League semifinals. The USMNT will be hoping to continue their winning form, while El Salvador will be looking to cause an upset and secure their place in the Finals.
