LiontipsUSA - Portugal: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
The USA national team, as hosts of the World Cup, did not participate in the qualification, actively held friendly matches. In sparring, Mauricio Pochettino's players demonstrate effective football and rely on their attack. In the fall, they even managed to produce an impressive series of three consecutive victories over Australia, Paraguay and Uruguay, consistently scoring at least two goals. However, on the eve of even two goals, it was not enough to play on equal terms with Belgium (2:5). The opponent, even without Lukaku in the squad, exposed the Americans' defense five times. Obviously, the U.S. national team is still not up to the level of strong European teams.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carter-Vickers, Dest, Fossey, Adams, Sands, Aneli, Sullivan, Kremaski, Wright, M. Robinson and Richards are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches, the U.S. national team has lost by offsides
- The exchange of goals scored was recorded in five consecutive matches with the participation of the US national team.

Current form
Portugal, as expected, took the first place in its group in the qualifying tournament for the World Cup. At the same time, the national team misfired twice: a draw with Hungary (2:2) and a defeat from Ireland with a score of 0:2 on the road. In the final round, Roberto Martinez's team defeated Armenia (9-1) and eventually were three points ahead of Ireland in the table. The day before, the Portuguese played a friendly match against Mexico, where they lost the world (0-0). The Portuguese had a significant advantage in the game, who scored 10 shots on target and had several dangerous moments, but the realization failed.

Tip and bets
The U.S. national team has undoubtedly made tangible progress, plays boldly and actively in attack, and consistently scores goals. However, as the match against Belgium showed, it is still too early for Americans to play on equal terms with strong European teams. Defensive failures have not disappeared anywhere, the only question is that top rivals are able to punish for this more than once. The Portuguese are just such opponents. There was no luck with the implementation of Mexico, it is unlikely that this will happen again in a row.
Our betting tip is that Portugal will win by a factor of 1.70
Bet on the total
Americans, regardless of who their rivals are, tend to play open soccer, and their matches regularly turn out to be productive. So, in the previous four matches of the US national team, more than two goals were scored. The Portuguese, given their decent attacking football, are always ready to support an open game.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
Portugal has won eight of the last nine matches by the number of corners. We expect this trend to work today in the game against the United States.
Prediction – Portugal wins on corners with a handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.80
