Preview

Head coach Jill Ellis has named a star-studded roster for this friendly. The group includes Alex Morgan and Christen Press in attack, while Carli Lloyd will feature in midfield.

Lloyd remains the heartbeat of this team and one of the sport's true stars even at 34. She joined Manchester City in February to earn a shot at the Champions League.

Lloyd is playing some of the best football of her career. Her energy and technique play a vital role in keeping the supply consistent to Morgan and Press.

The latter's pace could easily overwhelm Russia during the early stages. Press has a prolific recent history against Russia, scoring three times during a 7-0 and an 8-0 win back in February 2014, per the U.S. Soccer official website.

However, it is Morgan who will enter this friendly in fine form. The Lyon attacker netted a hat-trick last month to help her side advance in the Coupe de France Feminine.

Morgan has also helped Lyon reach the last four in the Champions League. Ironically, she will meet Lloyd and City in the semi-final.

The Lloyd, Morgan and Press trio should prove too much for a Russia side likely to be partly focused on the upcoming 2017 UEFA Women's Euro Championship. Even so, tricky forward Elena Danilova is a player who could help the visitors shock their decorated hosts.

However, an upset seems like a major long shot as long as the U.S. has so much elite talent available. Expect another comfortable win for Ellis' squad against a team they usually find the net against for fun.
