The Stars and Stripes sits second in the table heading into the March international break, but is still not theoretically assured of even making the inter-confederation playoffs - meaning that three points over third-place La Tri would go a long way to securing a first appearance since Brazil 2014.
Ahead of the game, GOAL has the details of how to watch on TV, stream online, team news and more.

Team news & rosters
| Position | Mexico roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Ochoa, Talavera, Cota, Acevedo |
| Defenders | Moreno, Gallardo, N. Araujo, Montes, Sanchez, Arteaga, Aguirre, Angulo, Vasquez, J. Araujo, Reyes |
| Midfielders | Herrera, Alvarez, Rodriguez, Antuna, Gutierrez, Alvarado, Romo, Lainez |
Forwards | Jimenez, Corona, Lozano, Martin, Vega, Gimenez |
El Tri, like its rivals, has an eye on Qatar 2022 as the perfect run-in to its own hosting gig in four years' time - but it will need to overcome a stubborn opponent to make sure it gets there the easy way.
A clash on home soil will help Mexico no end, while Raul Jimenez could provide the usual spark up front to fire the team to victory.
Predicted Mexico starting XI: Ochoa; J. Araujo, Montes, Moreno, Arteaga; Herrera, Alvarez, Pizarro; Lozano, Jimenez, Corona.
| Position | USMNT roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Steffen, Johnson, Horvath |
| Defenders | Yedlin, Zimmerman, Cannon, A. Robinson, Long, M. Robinson, Sands, Bello, Palmer-Brown |
| Midfielders | Acosta, Roldan, Adams, Musah, Busio, De la Torre |
| Forwards | Pulisic, Morris, Arriola, Weah, Reyna, Pepi, Pefok, Ferreira |
The Stars and Stripes has been rocked by a slate of injuries in the run-up to this crucial run of games, meaning that it will have to book its place with a lack of vital talent.
But with Christian Pulisic leading the line, the USMNT has more than enough proven stars in its ranks to get the job done.
Predicted USMNT starting XI: Steffen; Cannon, Zimmerman, M. Robinson, Sands; Adams, Acosta, Musah; Reyna, Ferreira, Pulisic.
