Belgium vs USA Prediction

In their previous meeting in a friendly game back in March, Belgium won 5-2 and have four wins and one draw in their five meetings against USA.

In this Belgium vs USA Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. Belgium has been undefeated in the World Cup and are coming off an epic comeback win against Senegal, where they were trailing 0-2 goals. They average 2.2 goals per game and their average expected goals are even more at 2.64. Their average expected goals conceded are also better than USA’s, with 1.00 compared to 1.69 and even though USA will be playing at home, I like Belgium to not lose in this one. Take Belgium draw no bet, where you lose your bet only if they lose.
