LiontipsUSA - Belgium: betting tip (cf 2.15) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Americans made it through the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2002, when they sent Mexico home in the 1/8 finals (2-0). Before the meeting with the Bosnians, that match was the only one in which they led in the playoffs and did not miss. In the quarterfinals, the USA was stopped by Germany. This is the best result in the history of the national team. Now there is a chance to at least repeat it, and maybe even get to the semifinals.
The national team confidently passed the stage of the 1/16 finals, beating Bosnia and Herzegovina. Folarin Balogun scored the first goal at the end of the first half, and the removal of the Monaco striker in the 64th minute did not prevent the hosts from bringing the match to a logical victory. The Americans held the defense with ten, and Malik Tillman perfectly executed a free kick in the 82nd minute and put an end to the duel - 2-0 in the end. Pochettino's team are pleased with their confident play and bold attack – 10 goals scored in four matches. Only France and Germany and the Netherlands, who completed the tournament, scored more.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mackenzie and Roldan will miss the game due to injuries, and Balogun is also disqualified.

Current form
Belgium's two opening matches at the North American tournament were disastrous and ended in a draw. First, the red Devils exchanged goals with the Pharaohs (1-1), and then rolled out a goalless draw with Iran. In the final round, the Belgians defeated New Zealand (5:1), which allowed the team to take first place in the quartet, ahead of the Egyptian national team in goal difference.
In the 1/16 finals, Rudy Garcia's team made an incredible comeback. In the match against Senegal, the Europeans lost by a two-goal margin five minutes before the end of regular time, and after that, something supernatural began to happen. Belgium went on the attack when the Africans believed in their success, for which they paid the price. In the 86th minute, Lukaku scored one goal, and a minute before the end of the meeting, the Red devils equalized the score (2:2). It was the main comeback of the entire World Cup, the most unexpected and strange. But the most interesting part was yet to come. Then the Belgians, then the Senegalese seized the initiative, it went to a penalty shootout, but in the second minute of extra time, after a long review of the VAR, the referee pointed to the point. In Belgium, the penalty was taken by the injured Yuri Thielemans, who scored a double and set the final score on the scoreboard – 3:2.

Tip and bets
There are enough famous football players in the Belgian national team. However, almost all of them are in the twilight of their careers or not in the best shape. The Red Devils made it to the 1/8 finals, first of all, thanks to luck and miraculously did not get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The quality of football is incredibly sad, there is character, but there is no game in sight. If Belgium plays the way it does against the Africans, then it will have big problems.
The U.S. national team enjoys the support of the home stands and demonstrates bold football with high pressure. There are personnel losses in the attack. The absence of the team's top scorer Florian Balogun (three goals scored) may affect the realization of scoring chances. However, the Americans have an experienced squad and know how to play pragmatically in matches. The hosts of the tournament are dangerous both in positional attacks and in standards - the main weapon of the stars and stripes. Four goals were scored from standard positions, which is the best record at the World Cup.
The bookmakers do not see a favorite in this game, but we will give preference to Pochettino's wards. If the home team can impose a high tempo from the first minutes, then the advantage will be on their side. We believe that the U.S. national team may not win in the main time, but it is quite worthy of reaching the quarterfinals.
The betting tip is the passage of the USA with a coefficient of 1.92
Bet on the total
There will be few goals in a match of equal opponents. The cost of a mistake is very high and the national teams will not play open football. The Americans finished two games of the tournament with a total of less, and in two of the four matches, the Belgian national team had no more than two goals. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will not take place.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.15
Betting on corners
The U.S. national team won all the meetings at the World Cup on corner kicks and did not allow the opponents in their penalty area to create many scoring chances. There is a high probability that a similar game scenario is planned today, and the Americans will surely win by the corners.
The betting tip is that the United States will win on the corner with a coefficient of 1.95
