USA vs Senegal Predictions - Draw backed in World Cup warm-up fixture
Senegal face the USA for the first time in a match where form favors the African side. With six wins in their last seven games, Senegal enter confident despite off-field controversy overturning their AFCON win. The USA, meanwhile, come off two home losses and continue to search for their best lineup before the World Cup. Predicted lineups are provided, and most signs point to Senegal winning or at least securing a draw, with both teams expected to score. The recommendation is to back Senegal on a win or draw result.

USA vs Senegal Predictions
Senegal are in good form coming into this fixture but while a result is always important, neither team will place too much emphasis on that, but rather focus on getting match fitness and combinations in place. I am leaning on a draw for this match.
- Senegal have won 6 of their last 7 matches.
- Senegal have scored in 6 of their last 7 matches.
- USA have lost their last 2 matches.
- USA have seen BTTS in their last 7 matches.
Head to Head
USA and Senegal meet for the first time in this match.
USA Form
As one of the hosts of the World Cup, USA were not particularly tested in a rigorous qualifying campaign. They have had to make do with friendlies, and their last competitive outing came at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July 2025.
It was an ultimately disappointing campaign for the USA at last year's Gold Cup. While Mauricio Pochettino's team progressed all the way to the final, they suffered a 2-1 defeat to bitter rival Mexico.
Things have been erratic since that tournament, with a 5-1 victory over Uruguay and a 2-1 triumph over Australia among their friendly results. However, they have lost their last two matches, falling 5-2 to Belgium before losing 2-0 to Portugal, with both matches played on home soil.
Senegal Form
Senegal have looked solid in the build-up to the World Cup and are considered one of Africa’s brightest prospects. They have been in the news for off-field reasons after their 1-0 extra-time victory over Morocco in the AFCON final was overturned by CAF, with the trophy awarded to the North Africans.
While that decision is being contested, Senegal’s performances on the pitch have been without question. Pape Bouna Thiaw’s men come into this clash with six wins in their last seven matches.
The Teranga Lions had two friendlies in March and were victorious in both. They claimed a 2-0 victory over Peru and followed up that result with a 3-1 triumph over Gambia.
USA vs Senegal Predicted Lineups
USA (3-4-3): Matt Turner; Antonee Robinson, Chris Richards, Austin Trusty, Alex Freeman; Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Giovanni Reyna; Timothy Weah, Christian Pulisic, Ricardo Pepi.
Patrick Agyemang was part of the squad that faced Portugal in March but has been left out of the World Cup squad. Josh Sargent and Atalanta’s Yunus Musah also miss out.
Senegal (4-3-3): Edouard Mendy; Krepin Diatta, Abdoulaye Seck, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ismail Jakobs; Idrissa Gueye, Pape Gueye, Pape Matar Sarr; Sadio Mane, Iliman Ndiaye, Nicolas Jackson.
Manager Thiaw has stuck with much of the team that reached the AFCON final in January. The trio of Habib Diallo, Boulaye Dia, and Mamadou Diakhon all missed out, having featured in the March friendlies.
Verdict
Senegal look solid and confident at the moment and I expect them to earn a win or draw against the USA, who have been unconvincing lately.
The Teranga Lions are also expected to continue their trend of taking the lead, while an open a contest should offer up goals for both teams.
