USA vs Haiti Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | Concacaf Nations League 2026-27 quarterfinal second leg
The USMNT have a huge lead from the first leg.
The USA men’s national team will take on Haiti in the second leg of their Concacaf Nations League 2026-27 quarterfinal clash at TQL Stadium on Tuesday night. The hosts come into this fixture with a huge lead from the first leg and will look to secure their place in the 2027 Concacaf Nations League Finals.
Five different goalscorers were on target for the United States in their 6-0 rout of Haiti in the first leg on November 14. Christian Pulisic netted a brace in the space of two minutes, leading from the front. Auston Trusty, Julian Hall, Weston McKennie, and Folarin Balogun also found the back of the net for the Stars and Stripes.
It was a wonderful result for head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who will depart to join Manchester United after the upcoming clash against Haiti. With progress to the next stage all but secured, the Argentine manager will hope for a perfect ending to his tenure with the USMNT.
For Haiti, the task is much tougher. The Grenadiers have had one of the leakiest defences in the Nations League. They lost 2-0 to Costa Rica and 6-0 to the United States in their last two matches, and need a miraculous comeback to have any chance of securing a win, although an aggregate victory seems out of their reach.

Players to Watch
Christian Pulisic (USA)
‘Captain America’ Christian Pulisic was in fine form in the USMNT’s first-leg clash against Haiti, scoring twice in the space of 101 seconds. This marked his first international brace in over three years.
The AC Milan midfielder opened his tally by scoring from the spot in the 62nd minute after winning a penalty. Just one minute later, he found the back of the net once again with a long-range strike.
Wilson Isidor (Haiti)
If Haiti hope to make any sort of comeback against the USMNT, Wilson Isidor will be key for the Grenadiers. The Sunderland forward has scored three goals in the Nations League. However, he has not found the back of the net in his last six matches for club and country.
