The third game for Gregg Berhalter as USMNT coach will see his men facing a South American side. Will they make it to three wins in a row?

What has been the form of USA and Ecuador prior to this game?

The USMNT gets to this game on a two-game winning streak, following last year's appalling conclusion. Prior to Gregg Berhalter's appointment as coach, the team had lost three out of last four games in 2018, including a 3-0 thumping against England. The Stars and Stripes are yet to concede their first goal under Berhalter.

Ecuador had a decent conclusion to their friendly match run last season, winning their two most recent games against Perú and Panamá. This is Hernán Darío Gómez's second stint as Ecuador's coach, following his successful run from 1999 to 2004, where he led La Tricolor to their first-ever World Cup.

USA vs Ecuador - Players to watch

Christian Pulisic - Perhaps the most talented footballer in the USMNT's history, Pulisic will need to handle the pressure of becoming the most expensive player of all time in CONCACAF history. Fans will be eager to see him in action, and his first game under Berhalter's watch could give us a glimpse on how he may become the go-to player for this team in years to come.

Romario Ibarra - The youngest of the Ibarra dinasty, Romario is a talented midfielder, currently playing in the MLS. In just six games with Ecuador, this player has already scored three goals, which hints a bright future for the 24-year-old with La Tricolor.

Manchester United's Antonio Valencia will play his 94th game for Ecuador during the international break. He will move on closer to join the 100-cap club for La Tricolor, a feat that only six players have accomplished with the South American side. Even after so many games, the excitement to represent his country has not faded away, as his tweet clearly shows.
