The United States of America go into Thursday’s game buoyed by their attacking masterclass against Jamaica.

Prior to that game, the Jamaicans had silenced reigning African queens Nigeria 1-0 in their first game.

Against the Super Falcons, Andonovski’s side would be aiming to extend their dominance.

Their biggest win remains a 7-1 triumph achieved in a group game of the 1999 Women’s World Cup.

On home soil, the USA boast a 41-game unbeaten streak – 37 wins and four ties – across all matches. In those games, they have scored multiple goals in 34 of those games.Regardless of the result, the essence of the outing is to keep the West African side in fine shape ahead of October’s Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifier against eternal rivals, Ghana.
