USA vs Belgium Preview

The dream run for World Cup co-hosts USA is on the line here, as they look to break new ground against Belgium in the last 16.

Coming into the tournament, there were plenty of questions levelled at the USMNT and their manager Mauricio Pochettino, but they have been answered impressively.

In this game however, things will step up a notch, against a Belgian side who produced an incredible escape act against Senegal in the last 32.

Both sides will see reaching this stage of the World Cup as progress, but they also know they have a real chance to kick on here and progress to the quarter finals.

Seattle will be a hostile place for the Belgians to play, and USA will be backed to the hilt by home support.

These are two experienced and high quality sides though and this should be a very good game, with all three results in play.

Here is a look ahead to USA vs Belgium:

With not much form to go off heading into the World Cup, plenty of questions were asked of the USA in the build up to the tournament.

However, with big wins over Australia and Paraguay, as well as a comfortable showing against Bosnia & Herzegovina in the last 32, they have made serene progress.

It has been typically Mauricio Pochettino, with goals, cards and drama never far away but for now, this American team are producing the results.

Against Senegal in the last round, Belgium came back from the dead but their general performance levels at this World Cup have been poor.

The USA are brimming with confidence though and they will look to take the game to Belgium, which could well kill them off.

For all the negatives being levelled at Belgium, their individual talents enable them to be a serious threat in every game they play.

Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Leandro Trossard are all capable of winning games on their own, not to mention the likes of Jeremy Doku and Youri Tielemans.

All of the above players will trouble this American outfit but there appears to be real momentum with the USA at the moment.

With FIFA ruling in their favour in the buildup to the game too, it does feel as if they have all the backing they need to win this game, regardless of what Belgium do.

Best Value Bet

Florian Balogun to score anytime @ $3.20

Following a highly controversial ruling from FIFA to allow him to play, Florian Balogun will be desperate to make an impact in this one.

He was sent off after opening the scoring against Bosnia & Herzegovina in the last round, but FIFA have made the unprecedented decision to allow him to play in the last 16.

Controversy has been present in all aspects of this World Cup and it feels fated that Balogun will contribute here for the USA.
