Prediction: 2-1
Haiti
USA and Haiti face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash at Children’s Mercy Park. The Yanks aim to build on a 4-0 win over Costa Rica, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Even though star players Christian Pulisic, Gianni Dest, Weston McKennie, and Giovanni Reyna have been omitted, anything but a routine home win will be a major surprise. Columbus attacker Gyasi Zardes is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Haiti, on the other hand, qualified for the Gold Cup finals thanks to a thrilling 4-1 win over Bermuda, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the Children’s Mercy Park clash. In their last meeting at Gold Cup USA defeated Haiti 1-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. USA defenders should have Frantzdy Pierrot at bay as he scored a hat-trick in the victory over Bermuda.
Highlighted Player (Christian Pulisic):
Christian Pulisic is an American professional footballer who plays in the English Premier League with Chelsea.

Impressed with the rate of his progression at their academy, BVB integrated the teenager into their first team over the winter break. On the 30th of January, 2015, Pulisic made his professional debut at the age of 17, coming on as a substitute in Dortmund's 2-0 home win against Ingolstadt in the league.

Highlighted Team (Haiti):
Haiti have been FIFA members since 1934 despite making their international debut nine years prior in a 2-1 loss to Jamaica. Haiti is the country with one of the longest football reputation in the Caribbean becoming only the second team from the region to make it to the World Cup. Their 1974 entrance is their only appearance to date however.
Haiti national team are making their Copa America debut at the Centenario in the United States and despite the fact Les Grenadiers have been considered minnows and underdogs on paper, they are sure to provide a competitive bite for their rivals. Heading into their first-ever Copa America, Haiti will be looking to repeat the heroics from the golden age of the Haitian football in 1970s.
Member of the most prominent generation Emmanuel Sanon remains to this date the most distinguished player of the team and the most capped player with 100 games. Former San Diego Sockers striker is also Haiti’s top scorer with 47 goals to his name.
