USA v Belgium Bet Builder Tips
Hosts ready to star again
USA are a team brimming with confidence and the USMNT’s run at the World Cup is not about to end.
The Stars and Stripes controlled the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina in their 2-0 last-32 victory, and Pochettino’s forward-thinking side have scored at least two goals in all four of their matches at the World Cup.
Belgium have been playing on borrowed time and the Red Devils are extremely fortunate to still be in North America.
Rudi Garcia’s side conceded an expected goals total of 3.58 in their miraculous 3-2 last-32 success over Senegal and Belgium were also second best to an average Egypt side in their opening World Cup fixture.
Romelu Lukaku and Kevin de Bruyne are faded stars, who can no longer carry the nation, and there is little in the way of backup to those two key players.
USA are 13/8 to win in 90 minutes and that looks a solid starting point for a three-leg bet builder.
Leg 1: USA to win @ 13/8
Goals to flow in Texas showdown
There have been 14 goals in USA’s four World Cup games, with Pochettino sending his side out on the front foot.
Belgium have seen the net bulge 11 times in their last two games against New Zealand and Senegal and those matches have featured a whopping 79 efforts on goal.
Take overs in Arlington.
Leg 2: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/11
Pulisic ready to click
The suspension of forward Folarin Balogun is a blow to USA, but star man Christian Pulisic looks ready to step up.
The 27-year-old has scored 33 goals in 89 appearances for the USMNT and the Pennsylvania forward hit eight goals for Milan in Serie A this season.
Pulisic looks likely to be moved to the top of the pitch in Balogun’s absence and that is a further boost to his scoring chances.
Leg 3: Christian Pulisic to score anytime @ 13/8
