It’s a busy midweek for Americans Abroad with plenty at stake for two U.S. Men’s National Team centerbacks.
Matt Miazga and Vitesse push for a spot in the Europa League next season in Tuesday’s playoff match against FC Utrecht. Tuesday’s clash is the first of a two-legged set with the winner earning a spot in the Europa League’s second qualifying round.
John Brooks and Wolfsburg, meanwhile, look to stave off relegation in the Bundesliga. Recently back from injury, Brooks will look to help Wolfsburg past Holstein Kiel, who are pushing for promotion from the 2. Bundesliga.
