USMNT vs. St. Kitts & Nevis: Top Storylines and Predictions for 2023 Gold Cup | News, Scores, Highli
Daniel Bartel/ISI Photos/Getty ImagesThe USMNT's situation in Group A requires a multi-goal victory over Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Saturday's draw with Jamaica means that first place in the group could come down to goal differential, and Wednesday's match is the best chance for the USMNT to balloon that total.
The Caribbean side fell 3-0 in its Gold Cup opener against Trinidad & Tobago, who is 34 spots ahead of it in the world rankings.
Even if the USMNT beat Jamaica, the expectation for Wednesday would be a multiple-goal win because of the disparity in talent between the two clubs.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is participating in its first Gold Cup, and its roster lacks top-flight experience in any major league.
That could lead to an aggressive approach from the outset for the Americans, not just at forward, but in the midfield as well.
Cade Cowell and Djordje Mihailovic are among the creative players Callaghan can call upon to produce service for the strikers, and break down the Saint Kitts and Nevis defense through the middle.
