Team Form
USA was able to reach this stage after winning in the Group D and winning Bosnia and Herzegovina 2 to 0 in the Round of 32, not considering the fact that the team had been playing most of the second half with ten men.
Folarin Balogun scored the first goal but was red carded in the 64th minute of the game, and his suspension is a big blow to the national team, since he has proven to be an important player to the USA’s team in past games. That win was their first ever World Cup knockout victory since their last win in 2002, according to Kings Predictions.
Belgium topped their Group stage G ahead of Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand, then delivered an outstanding comeback against Senegal in their second half match, winning 3 to 2 against Senegal after extra time even when the team was losing 2 to 0 with seven minutes of the game left. Youri Tielemans had 2 goals in this match, with substitute Lukaku scoring the decisive goal.
USA Possible Lineup:
Turner; Dest, Richards, Ream, A. Robinson; Adams, McKennie; Weah, Tillman, Pulisic; Pepi.
Belgium Possible Lineup:
Courtois; Castagne, Mechele, Theate, De Cuyper; Tielemans, Vanaken; De Bruyne, Trossard, Doku; Lukaku.

PamPredict’s Prediction
Without striker Balogun, the USA centre attacking threat won’t be functional, while Belgium has more proven quality players in the likes of De Bruyne and Lukaku.
For a safer bet, Belgium to win with a double chance bet (2X) goes well with Over 1.5 goals given the attacking strength on both teams.
