Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: McKennie, Adams, and more

17 Shares

Juventus continues to push up the Serie A standings and will have another tough test this weekend against AS Roma.

Weston McKennie and the rest of his teammates will aim to leapfrog the Romans in the table with a victory on Saturday. Andrea Pirlo’s side not only took a major step in advancing to the Coppa Italia final this week, but also continued their good run of form with a fifth-straight win in all comps. The 22-year-old McKennie continues to rack up minutes for the Old Lady and will aim to continue doing so especially in Saturday’s matchup of third vs. fourth. McKennie has played 89 minutes or more in four of his last five outings and could add to that with another start this weekend.

Elsewhere, Tyler Adams and Matthew Hoppe will square off in Bundesliga action while Tim Weah and Lille face off with Nantes away from home. Christian Pulisic and Chelsea aim to make it three wins in a row as they travel to Sheffield United. Jordan Morris and Swansea City hosts Norwich City in a highly-anticipated league clash while Matt Miazga and Mark McKenzie go head-to-head in Belgian Pro League action.
