Typically, the United States Men’s National Team has a good idea of what to expect against its opponents. However, when playing Cuba the U.S. won't have a great idea about what to expect.
Baseball is the most popular sport in Cuba and soccer is a distant second. Although soccer's popularity in Cuba is increasing, the sport is still very underfunded.
Cuba has struggled against the USMNT, with an all-time record of 1-1-9. Los Leones del Caribe are in bad form with just one win in their last five matches. The Cubans haven't played since they defeated French Guinea 3-0, on March 29th.
