In the last 2 meetings, USA have 0W 1D 1L against Belgium. Total goals 7 (2-5); both teams scored in 1 of 2.
Belgium arrive priced slightly shorter, and the defensive profile is the cleanest separator: 0.8 conceded versus USA’s 1.2. That gap matters if the game stays tight into the final half-hour, especially with Thibaut Courtois behind a back line that includes Timothy Castagne and Arthur Theate.
USA’s route to points looks more direct. With Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie set to patrol midfield and Christian Pulisic in the front line, the hosts have enough ball-winning and transition threat to make this uncomfortable - particularly if Belgium’s early possession gets sloppy.
For betting tips, the market edge and recent scoring rates nudge this toward a narrow away win, though the h2h page will add extra context around how these sides match up historically.
Belgium’s stronger goals-against rate and slightly shorter price give them the edge - Belgium 1-2. Expected score: 1-2. Bet on USA vs Belgium and watch live here
