LiontipsUSA - Belgium: betting tip (cf 2.17) and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Americans, as hosts of the World Cup, did not need to participate in the qualification. The national team has been actively playing friendly matches over the past year and has achieved solid results. So, for the last five sparring sessions, there has not been a single defeat. In this segment, only Ecuador failed to win (1:1). Special attention should be paid to the last test match, in which Mauricio Pochettino's team defeated Uruguay with a score of 5:1. The U.S. national team includes players from the top 5 European leagues, and now is clearly the moment when the experienced Pochettino has decided on the backbone of the national team and the optimal combinations.

The U.S. national team's injured list includes Carter-Vickers, Dest, Fossey, Adams, Sands, Aneli, Sullivan, Kremaski and Wright.

Belgium got into a difficult group in the qualifying tournament for the World Cup. In the company of Wales, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein, the Red Devils were initially the obvious favorites and confirmed this status. In eight matches played, the Belgians did not suffer a single defeat, scored 18 points and finished in first place with a two-point lead over Wales. It should be noted that Rudy Garcia's team was highly productive, scoring 29 goals in qualifying. It should be noted that today the national team will play without Thibaut Courtois and Romelu Lukaku.

Tip and bets
Americans in the betting shop line play the role of underdog. However, given the recent results and the victory over Uruguay, it's definitely not worth underestimating the hosts today. Under Pochettino's leadership, the national team has noticeably improved, relies on attack and scores without problems, in the last five matches they have not left the field without scoring a goal. The Belgians, even despite the not-so-optimal squad and the absence of Lukaku, are always distinguished by their powerful offense and are unlikely to rely solely on defense in a friendly game. We believe that the opponents will be able to make less than three goals between the two of them today.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.74
Betting on the outcome
The U.S. national team has not suffered a single defeat in the last five friendly matches, and the opponents were difficult Uruguay, Japan, Ecuador. On their own field today, the Americans will clearly be determined to prove themselves at their best against the backdrop of a strong European team. Taking into account the set coefficients, it is worth betting on the hosts.
The second bet is a victory for the USA with an Asian handicap (0) with a coefficient of 2.17
Betting on corners
The Belgians have taken more corners than their opponents in seven of the last eight matches. Based on this trend, we recommend another confident bet on the game.
