USA vs Belgium — AI prediction
Result
USA 1-4 Belgium
Kick-off: 2026-07-07
Belgium look the stronger side despite USA being nominal hosts. Belgium's WWDDW form, 14 goals for/4 against and higher xG (2.15 vs 1.39 recent) plus a 5-2 win over this same USA in March give them the edge. USA have leaked goals (6 conceded, LWWL patches) but attack well through Balogun. Expect goals both ends and an open game; the bookmaker model also leans Belgium/draw. I make Belgium a slight favourite in a high-scoring tie.
