The Club World Cup is not the only major soccer tournament taking place in the United States this summer. While 32 club teams from around the globe are battling it out to be crowned world champions, the CONCACAF nations and invited guest Saudi Arabia are in the midst of a Gold Cup campaign.
Co-hosts USA are one of three teams to have booked their quarterfinal place with a group game to spare and the USMNT will be keen to keep their foot on the pedal against Haiti.
Having opened up with a resounding 5-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago, the US squeezed past Saudi Arabia 1-0 on Thursday.
The USMNT entered the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup under a bit of a cloud having lost their four matches ahead of the tournament.
A resounding win over Trinidad & Tobago and a slender 1-0 success over Saudi Arabia will have settled some nerves in the US camp, although Mauricio Pochettino's side will need to raise their levels further when they get to the business end of the tournament.
A 1-1 draw against the Trinidadians suggests Haiti are of a similar quality to those opponents but digging deeper into the match stats from that draw hints that they are in fact a better side.
Despite playing almost an hour with 10 men, Haiti had 16 shots to Trinidad & Tobago's nine and missed an 89th-minute penalty to snatch victory.
Saudi Arabia needed a first-half penalty to squeeze past the Haitians 1-0 in their group opener and the US may also find them a tough nut to crack.
The pair's last two meetings, also at the Gold Cup, resulted in 1-0 wins for the United States and another narrow US win could be on the cards in Arlington.
The United States needed a second-half winner from Crystal Palace's Chris Richards to see off Saudi Arabia in their second group game and Pochettino's side may have to be patient once more on Sunday.
Haiti limited Saudi Arabia to only four shots on target in their opener, one of which was a successful penalty, and allowed only two in their draw with Trinidad & Tobago.
The Haitians will need to be more expansive if they are to cause a surprise and join the USA in the quarter-finals, but the defensive efficiency they have demonstrated already will stand them in good stead.
The underdogs could look to contain the tournament hosts in the first period and then open up as the game wears on, so backing the game to still be goalless at halftime could prove wise.
PSV Eindhoven livewire Malik Tillman got the ball rolling for the US at this year's Gold Cup with a first-half double against Trinidad & Tobago, and the 23-year-old should be a big part of the Stars & Stripes' attacking threat against Haiti.
Tillman scored 12 league goals for Eredivisie champions PSV this term, the best league return of his career to date, and steered 25 of his 58 shots on target.
The former Germany youth international also scored three times and provided two assists in six Champions League appearances for the Dutch champions in the 2024/25 campaign, and he may prove to be the gamebreaker in Texas.
