After agonizingly missing out on the 2018 World Cup, the USA will make its return to the big stage tomorrow when they take on Wales in their first match of the 2022 World Cup. Stay tuned!
Missing out on a ticket to an eighth straight World Cup meant that qualification for Qatar was an absolute must, and while they didn’t make it easy on themselves at all, the USMNT did what needed to be done to avoid back-to-back disappointments.
The reward for successful qualification is a spot in Group B with England, Wales, and Iran. England enter the tournament as one of the favorites to go all the way, but it is the USA who has the edge over Wales as the oddsmakers’ choice to join England in the round of 16.
To position themselves to back that up, the Stars and Stripes must get a positive result against Gareth Bale and Wales, who are in the World Cup for the second time ever, with their previous appearance coming in 1958.
Will we see a winning start for the USMNT? Read on for our USA vs Wales prediction and picks.

USA vs Wales Picks: USA ML (Best Value: +140 at BetUS) & Both Teams to Score – NO (Best Value: -134 at BetOnline)
While their recent form is pretty uninspiring, I do expect the USMNT to turn up for their World Cup return.
Wales will not be easy to break down, but I see this one ending 1-0 or 2-0 in favor of the Stars and Stripes.
