USA v Belgium – predictions and odds – 2026 World Cup (7 July 2026)

The United States and Belgium face off in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup at Lumen Field in Seattle, USA. The hosts are progressing steadily, and in the round of 32 they managed to see out the match despite being a man down. In fact, they have lost just one match, and that was when they had already secured top spot in their group. Mauricio Pochettino’s side are aiming to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the second time in their history.

The Belgian side, for their part, found themselves with one foot back in Belgium. They were trailing 2–0 with less than ten minutes remaining in their match against Senegal. Moreover, the Africans were clearly the better side. But a late surge and some disorganisation from the Senegalese allowed them to equalise with two goals in three minutes. In extra time, Belgium were the better side and capitalised on a penalty in the closing minutes to secure a place in the next round that will be remembered for many years to come.

‘Final score’ prediction

The United States are proving to be a solid side who know exactly what they’re doing at all times. Belgium, on the other hand, are very disorganised and chaotic, with their most talented players – such as Kevin De Bruyne – well off their best form. For this reason, and because they’re playing at home, the US side are the favourites to win. What’s more, the odds are attractive. A win for Mauricio Pochettino’s side within 90 minutes pays out at 2.50.

‘Total goals’ prediction

The goals market is an attractive one, given that the Americans have scored in every match and the Belgians are good at finding the net, although they concede too many chances. Given the nature of both teams, a high-scoring match is expected. The possibility of more than 2.5 goals being scored is very likely, and the odds stand at 1.71.
