England vs United States betting

Two countries with a lot in common – England and the United States will meet for the sixth time in history. Following the results of the first round, this match is going to be an exciting encounter. Get ready and read our comprehensive England vs USA betting preview for exciting predictions!

Match Overview

The British got off to a strong start at the World Cup, defeating Iran 6-2 in the first round of the group stage. Not only did Gareth Southgate’s side end their six-match winless streak, but they also recorded their biggest win ever in their opening World or European Championship games.

Bukayo Saka was recognized as the best player of the England national team in the match. The midfielder of London Arsenal scored a brace. Also, the game of nineteen-year-old Jude Bellingham left a strong impression. Not only he scored the first goal of England in Qatar, but also led his team’s attacks well. After the game, the young footballer absolutely deservedly received praise from such ex-England players as Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand.

In the match with the USA, it is quite expected to see a lot of goals from England. Moreover, the victory over the Americans will lead Southgate’s team to the playoffs ahead of schedule.

The English mentor himself became the record holder for the number of victories with the national team in major tournaments – now Southgate has nine of them. Surely he will want to get the tenth in the match against the United States.

The only thing that Southgate could face ahead of the US game is the loss of Harry Maguire. The defender in the match with the Iranians suffered a head injury and was replaced. If a concussion is confirmed, then according to FIFA regulations, the defender must miss at least ten days.

The USA started the World Cup with a 1:1 draw against Wales. In the first half, the US players took the lead thanks to a goal from Timothy Weah, but eight minutes before the end of regular time, Walker Zimmerman got a foul on Gareth Bale in his penalty area, allowing a goal.

The US team has become quite a formidable force in recent years and may well qualify for the playoffs. The progress of the North American team is primarily due to the fact that more and more players leave to play in European clubs. And some of them are in leading roles at top clubs: Christian Pulisic at Chelsea, Sergino Dest at AC Milan and Weston McKennie at Juventus.

Interesting Facts

  • It will be the third time the United States will face England in the World Cup.
  • England’s last four games had 3.75 goals on average in the second half.
  • Timothy Weah has not lost a single game in which he netted.

England vs USA Betting Tips

Here are the main forecasts for the upcoming match between England and the US:

USA Not to Lose by two or More Goals – 1.50

England is considered the clear favourite in this match, but this hardly surprises anyone. Now the British are the second contender after Brazil to win the World Cup. However, not everything was so smooth for England this year because, in nine matches of different tournaments, they managed to win only three times (hello to the Hungarian team).

In the USA, as in the England team, there are their star players. There are representatives of all top championships. This is what we mean by the fact that the Americans, if they don’t play on equal terms, will obviously look more lively than Iran. Remembering that this year the US team concedes an average of only 0.73 goals per game, scoring 1.18 goals, and the British differ by an average of 1.67 times, conceding 1.44 goals, we suggest taking the US not to lose with two or more goals.

Under 3 Goals – 1.55

The match of the first round of the group stage of the World Cup improved the statistics on the goals of the England team this year. Prior to that, in England’s matches, an average of 2.5 goals were scored. Only three of Southgate’s nine games this year have had more than three goals scored, and Team USA have not scored more than three goals in ten of their 11 matches. We think that this time we should not expect high performance, so we choose Under three goals.

US to Have Over 2.5 Corners – 1.50

The England team also beat Iran on the corners, taking eight corners and not letting the opponents do it. The United States was also stronger than the Welsh in this indicator. Unlike the Iranian team, the Americans will certainly be able to impose a fight in the English penalty area. Given that the British allow opponents to earn an average of 2.67 corners per match, we think that the US will have over 2.5 corners.

Under 4 Yellow Cards – 1.60

The referee of the match normally shows over six cards in games. But in the games of England and in the matches of the USA, neither of these teams got more than three yellow cards. We would suggest that Jesús Valenzuela will have fewer reasons for booking. Taking a bet of a total under four yellow cards is a good choice.

Conclusion

Two countries with a lot in common and great history. We anticipate a truly interesting match between the US and England. This is going to be a pivotal match for the United States if they want to qualify in the next round.
