The United States Men's National Team's title defense remains on track, but it could be derailed Sunday night in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup group stage finale against Trinidad and Tobago. The Americans (1-1-0) enter the match at Bank of America Stadium tied for the top spot in the group with Jamaica, but the Soca Warriors (1-0-1) are just one point behind. That means the USMNT need a draw or victory to continue their quest to tie Mexico's record of eight Concacaf titles. The USMNT opened the Gold Cup with a 1-1 draw with Jamaica, then demolished Saint Kitts and Nevis 6-0 on Wednesday. Trinidad and Tobago opened with a 3-0 victory against Saint Kitts and Nevis before falling 4-1 to the Reggae Boyz.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET. The USMNT are -950 favorites (risk $950 to win $100) in Caesars Sportsbook's latest USMNT vs. Trinidad and Tobago odds. Trinidad and Tobago are +2200 underdogs, a draw is priced at +675, and the over/under for total goals is 3.5.

Why you should back the USMNT
The Americans showed their attacking ability in Wednesday's thrashing of the Sugar Boyz. They bombarded the Saint Kitts and Nevis goal with 34 shots, putting 15 on target. Jesus Ferreira got his second career hat trick, and Djordje Mihailovic scored twice. The Americans have conceded one goal and just three shots on target in the first two matches. The USMNT rested several key players Wednesday, including goalkeeper Matt Turner, so they have far more quality depth than the visitors.
While the Soca Warriors were hammered by the Jamaicans, the Americans held 68% possession and outshot the Reggae Boyz 13-6. Brandon Vazquez rescued the point with an 88th minute goal. The USMNT are 11th in FIFA's world rankings, while the Soca Warriors are 101st, but the hosts won't take this match for granted. Trinidad and Tobago upset the USMNT 2-1 to keep them home from the 2018 World Cup. The Americans have won the subsequent two meetings by a combined score of 13-0. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Trinidad and Tobago
The Soca Warriors started with a statement victory before a reality check against the Reggae Boyz. Still, they know they've beaten the mighty Americans before, knocking them out of the 2018 World Cup field with a 2-1 victory in October, 2017. The USMNT also don't have the speed the Jamaicans possess in their attack, and the USMNT can have trouble finishing goals. Several key players from the American World Cup squad are absent, including Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, who are preparing for club seasons.
Columbus Crew veteran Kevin Molino (23 international goals) sat out against Jamaica with fatigue, but he should be fit to start. Joevin Jones (12 goals) and Ryan Telfer (eight goals) are the other top scorers. Levi Garcia, 25, was second in the Greek Super League last season with 14 goals for league champion AEK Athens. Atlanta United 20-year-old Ajani Fortune scored on a rocket from distance in the opener, and the Soca Warriors got an own goal and a tally from defender Alvin Jones. See which team to pick here.
