The U.S. men's national team is hoping to use Wednesday's match to build some momentum in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup as they take on St. Kitts & Nevis in the second match of group stage play.
On Saturday, the USMNT struggled to a 1-1 draw with Jamaica, feeling the effects of their depleted roster featuring a host of second-tier players.
Head coach B.J. Callaghan led a strong, first-choice roster to the CONCACAF Nations League title just two weeks ago, but he'll now feel the weight of the star departures. The likes of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and other national team standouts were released to their summer vacations to rest and recover before the start of a new club season, forcing the USMNT to call in a number of fringe players.
Now, ready to take on the 139th-ranked Sugar Boyz of St. Kitts & Nevis, it could be a get-right spot for the United States, who will look to run up the score to give themselves a goal differential advantage should that come into play in the final group standings.

USA vs St. Kitts and Nevis betting odds
The United States are overwhelming favorites for this match, so much so that sportsbooks have fewer markets for this match than most other Gold Cup games. The U.S. will be expected not only to win, but to win by a lopsided score.
That level of expectations come with obvious pitfalls, as there's really no true victory for the favorite in this scenario. Either the United States does as expected and trounces the tiny Caribbean nation, or they disappoint.
