USA vs Belgium Preview and Team News
USA Team News
This is one of the biggest matches in the history of US soccer. Victory would secure a first World Cup quarterfinal appearance in 24 years for the Stars and Stripes. It’ll also likely determine whether or not Mauricio Pochettino’s reign will be remembered positively.
So far, he has gotten plenty right at this tournament. The USA were too strong for their opening two opponents and secured top spot in Group D. They came up against a compact Bosnia & Herzegovina side last time out and managed to create enough opportunities to win 2-0 thanks to some effective transitional play.
The United States have thrived on fast counterattacks throughout the tournament, with Folarin Balogun leading the line. The 24-year-old has excelled with three goals in three outings, but he will miss the game against Belgium after receiving a controversial red card in the Round of 32. The co-hosts are also monitoring the fitness of Cristian Roldan and Mark McKenzie.
USA predicted lineup vs Belgium (3-4-2-1): Freese; Richards, Ream, Freeman; A. Robinson, Tillman, Adams, Dest; Pulisic, McKennie; Pepi.
Belgium Team News
For Belgium’s golden generation, this may be their last shot at World Cup glory. Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku scored in the Red Devils’ 2-1 Round-of-16 victory against the USA at the 2014 tournament in Brazil. Both players are expected to play 12 years later at the same stage against the same opposition.
Lukaku could return to the starting lineup after making an impact off the bench against Senegal in the previous round. A more direct, purposeful style sparked a remarkable late comeback, with Youri Tielemans scoring twice to seal a 3-2 extra-time triumph.
Despite their progress, all is not well in the Belgian camp. There was an angry exchange between key players Tielemans and Leandro Trossard in the last match. Star winger Jérémy Doku has been a major disappointment, with no goals or assists in three outings in North America. Head coach Rudi Garcia also appears to be searching for his strongest lineup.
Belgium predicted lineup vs USA (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Castagne, Mechele, Theate, Meunier; Tielemans, Raskin; Trossard, De Bruyne, Lukébakio; Lukaku.
USA vs Belgium Prediction
- Pick: USA to win
- Odds: +172 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: USA 2-1 Belgium
The USA will miss Balogun’s finishing ability, but five other American players have already scored at this World Cup. Their aggressive high press should force an error-prone Belgian defence into mistakes.
Despite being placed in a weak group, the European side have conceded in three of their four fixtures. They were fortunate to advance in the last round, with some late lapses in concentration from Senegal and questionable refereeing calls helping them through.
Belgium’s big names aren’t the forces they once were, with 35-year-old De Bruyne replaced after an ineffective 56 minutes in the Round of 32. With a big home crowd behind them, the USA should be able to outrun their opponents and book a place in the quarterfinals.
USA vs Belgium Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -145 (20Bet)
While Belgium has lacked consistency as a team, they still possess enough individual quality to produce moments of brilliance. Whether it’s a cross into the penalty area for Lukaku, or a moment of magic from one of their wide players, the Red Devils should generate scoring opportunities. Five of their last seven competitive fixtures have seen both teams score.
The USA take risks with their aggressive pressing, and it’s unlikely we’ll see any radical tactical alterations from Pochettino. Nine of their previous 12 internationals have finished with both sides on the scoresheet.
