Match description

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. USMNT loses an important striker, but still has the advantage of intensity, host and energy of the match. Belgium has bigger names in the team, but after a dramatic promotion he may enter the match with a greater physical and emotional burden. This match should be close, but USMNT has a better profile for the second half: pressing, pace, stadium and a greater ability to force errors when passing the ball by Belgium. Our prediction: 41% for USMNT, 29% for draw and 30% for Belgium. Most likely exact score: 2:1. Promotion after the whole match: USMNT (54% vs 46%). Status: SMALL BET
