USA vs Oman odds
The United States head into this latest friendly looking to protect their 12-game unbeaten run across all competitions, when excluding extra time and penalties. Most recently, the Stars and Stripes beat Uzbekistan 3-0 in St. Louis thanks to an early goal from Timothy Weah and strikes in second-half stoppage time from Ricardo Pepi and Christian Pulisic to see off a stubborn opponent.
Oman are one place higher than Uzbekistan in the FIFA World Rankings, sitting 73rd at present, so the USMNT should expect a similar challenge in Minnesota. Oman haven’t played a game since losing 3-2 to Iraq in the Gulf Cup final back in January, but were five games unbeaten prior to that, and only lost 1-0 to a strong Germany side as recently as November 2022.
