The US have one group match left in the World Cup 2023 campaign and will take on Portugal in Auckland.

Having already played Vietnamand now the Netherlands, Vlatko Andonovski’s team is hoping for a strong finish to the first stage and to go all the way in Australia and New Zealand.

Portugal and the US have played four times over the years and the Americans have won all of them, with their last win being a 1-0 result in 2021.
