Friendly International

Hungary vs Slovenia: Team News and Expert Analysis
The United States will be the main host nation for the upcoming World Cup. Last year's CONCACAF Cup served as a sort of warm-up, with the team reaching the final but losing to their main regional rival, Mexico, 1-2. They have also been showing good results in recent friendlies.
Since the beginning of last year, Belgium has played under the guidance of Rudy Garcia. He debuted with a 0-2 loss to Ukraine, but in the return match his new squad took convincing revenge and remained in League A of the Nations League. The team then won their group in World Cup qualifying over Wales by two points, collecting eighteen in eight matches.
Pochettino's side scores an average of 1.9 goals per game while conceding a third less—1.2. The European visitors average 3.3 goals scored (mainly thanks to matches against Liechtenstein), and concede one goal per game on average.
Previous matches: USA vs Belgium
The Americans’ only win dates back to 1930. Since then, they suffered two defeats—in 2011 and 2013—while at the World Cup in Brazil, Belgium won 2-1 in the round of 16 thanks to goals in extra time.
Both teams showed decent form last autumn. A neutral bet with "both teams to score" (odds – 1.60) is recommended.
