Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Adams faces Reyna, FA Cup, and more

18 Shares

Two of the top four Bundesliga teams so far will meet on Saturday with a pair of young Americans headlining talented rosters.

Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna square off at Red Bull Arena with both players aiming to lead their clubs to important wins. Adams and RB Leipzig are riding a nine-match unbeaten run coming into Saturday evening’s showdown with the hosts looking to stay close with league leaders Bayern Munich. The U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder has continued to show off his versatility in Julian Nagelsmann’s roster, playing right back in a 1-0 win over Stuttgart.

Reyna and fourth-place Dortmund have won their last two matches in all competitions, defeating Wolfsburg 2-0 last weekend. The 18-year-old continues to rack up minutes this season, featuring on the wing and also in central midfield for the Black and Yellow. Adams played at right back in RB Leipzig’s most recent win, meaning we could see a Reyna-Adams direct positional match-up this weekend.

Elsewhere in Europe, a large group of American players will be aiming to feature in English FA Cup play, including Zack Steffen, DeAndre Yedlin, and Owen Otasowie. Weston McKennie and Juventus look to follow up on an important midweek win over AC Milan by defeating Sassuolo. Tim Weah and Lille face a trip to Nimes, aiming to stay in the Ligue 1 title race. Reggie Cannon and Boavista take on Santa Clara in Portuguese Primeira Liga play while Liga MX play kicks off this weekend.
