2022 World Cup Betting Picks & Predictions: England vs. USA
England (1-0-0) v. USA (0-0-1) [2 p.m. EST]
The moment that this group was drawn, it was known that the battle between the US and Wales to be the group’s second fiddle would be a strong one, and that was showcased in their matchup last time out, which ended in a 1-1 draw. I think that the Americans know that they need to stay strong in the back and hope they get a chance on the counter, as if they overplay, they may risk a hard goal differential to overcome. Look for a slow first half and for England to crack through, and I just think the Brits are in too good of form to consider any other line than their money line -180. The US should be able to keep it close and have a fighting shot to advance at the end, but I have a hard time thinking anyone can stop England when they play like this.
Bet: England ML (-180)
