Seattle Stadium hosts a blockbuster World Cup Round of 16 clash on 7 July as the United States face Belgium in a rematch of their dramatic 2014 knockout encounter. The co-hosts carry home expectation, yet Belgium's resilience and form make them slight favourites at 2.75<\/a>, setting up a fascinating contest with a quarter-final place on the line.<\/p>

2: Belgium to win<\/div>\n
\n 2.75<\/a><\/span>\n on Dafabet\"Dafabet\"<\/span>\n · Confidence Medium<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
Belgium's resilient form, miserly defensive record, and the enforced absence of Balogun from the American attack all point towards the Red Devils progressing.<\/div>\n

Projected final score: 1-2<\/h3>

Belgium's superior defensive record of just 0.8 goals conceded per match in their last five outings, combined with the absence of Balogun through suspension and Pulisic's fitness concerns after missing most of the group stage, makes the Red Devils narrow favourites here. Their 5-2 demolition of the USMNT in March 2026 underlines the quality gap, and 2.75<\/a> reflects that edge.<\/p>

A three-goal total feels right for this knockout tie. Belgium's compact backline has been difficult to break down, while USA's patched defence, missing Richards and potentially Trusty, gives Doku and De Bruyne genuine openings. Expect Belgium to shade it but the Americans to grab one, making 1.57 a credible angle in what should be a competitive but contained affair.<\/p>

Match Analysis<\/h2>

Belgium arrive as narrow favourites at 2.75<\/a>, backed by a settled, experienced squad. Courtois, De Bruyne, Doku, and Trossard all start, and their defensive unit has conceded just 0.8 goals per game across their last five matches.<\/p>
