United States vs Germany Preview
The United States head into this final warm-up fixture at Soldier Field buoyed by a spirited 3-2 victory over Senegal, a match in which Christian Pulisic delivered a goal and an assist to underline his returning sharpness. Pochettino made five changes to his starting side, treating this friendly with the intensity of a competitive fixture. Recent form has been patchy, though, with two defeats in their last three outings tempering expectations.
Germany arrive in Chicago riding a remarkable nine-match winning streak, a run that marks them out as one of the most formidable sides heading into the summer. Julian Nagelsmann was expected to rotate his squad, yet the depth at his disposal means quality rarely drops. The visitors have dominated this fixture historically, winning three of the last four meetings, including a convincing 3-1 triumph in the most recent encounter between these two nations.
Germany's nine-match winning streak is the defining factor here. Three victories from the last four meetings between these sides, including a convincing 3-1 result in the most recent encounter, paint a clear picture of superiority. The hosts have lost two of their last three outings, and that inconsistency makes it difficult to back them at 4.75.
Julian Nagelsmann's squad arrive in peak rhythm, and while roster rotation is expected for this final pre-tournament friendly, the depth at Germany's disposal remains formidable. Pochettino made five changes from the Senegal match, treating this as a competitive dress rehearsal, yet the USMNT's defensive frailties were exposed in that 3-2 result.
The away win at 1.60 represents the standout selection. Germany's form, their head-to-head dominance, and the hosts' shaky recent record all point in one direction. A sold-out crowd of 63,636 will generate a fierce atmosphere, but atmosphere alone rarely overturns such a pronounced gap in current form. Odds and markets subject to change.

Both sides line up in confirmed fashion, with the United States deploying a 3-4-3 against Germany's 4-2-3-1. The shape pits Christian Pulisic and his attacking partners against a German midfield anchored by two holding players, promising a contest between American directness and German structural discipline.
For Germany, the creative axis running through Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz behind Kai Havertz will be the principal threat, and the United States back three will need to remain compact and organised to limit the space those two can exploit between the lines.
