USA earned a 2-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32. Leading scorer Folarin Balogun was lost to a red card in the second half. With the booking, he was set to miss the Round of 16 match, but the red card has since been suspended by FIFA, making Balogun eligible for Monday&#8217;s contest. Balogun is +165 as any anytime goal scorer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET in Seattle. The latest USMNT vs. Belgium odds from FanDuel Sportsbook list USA at +150 (risk $100 to win $150) on the 90-minute money line, with Belgium at +180 and a draw at +240. The over\/under for total goals is 2.5. The USMNT are -122 to advance, with Belgium at +100.

The Americans have scored at least twice in every match thus far and get a huge boost with Balogun now available for Monday. &#8220;Captain Christian Pulisic played for 88 minutes against Bosnia and Herzegovina after shaking off a calf injury, which gives the team a major boost,&#8221; Green said. &#8220;We could see Pulisic and Balogun in attack for this game, with Weston McKennie and Malik Tillman getting forward to support them. The Belgians could struggle to deal with that quartet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Belgium, meanwhile, feature a couple of proven, world-class offensive threats in Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne. Belgium should have confidence on offense as well after scoring five goals against America in a friendly earlier this year, so Green is envisioning a higher-scoring match on Monday. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/usmnt-vs-belgium-odds-predictions-2026-world-cup-round-of-16-picks-from-proven-soccer-expert\/#ttag=07042026_agg_cbssports_picks_soccer_worldcup_green_USMNTBelgium\" target=\"_blank\">See Green&#8217;s best bets for USA vs. Belgium at SportsLine<\/a>, and you can <strong>bet Over 2.5 goals for Belgium vs. USA at FanDuel here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><sportsline-pick-snippet data-cbssports-betting-component=\"1\" data-shortcode=\"picksnippet\" data-uuid=\"cd4fef10-0bba-49e1-8938-b2b543e62f01\" data-oracle-id=\"50027360\" data-team=\"af74fa63-1129-4d15-85e6-32eee327d481\" data-home-team=\"{\"id\":\"f44f03f7-7ee2-4119-9b23-f3bbcf17cfd5\",\"oracleId\":26679982,\"location\":\"United States\",\"imageId\":null,\"mediumName\":\"United States\",\"nickname\":\"United States\",\"teamAbbreviation\":\"USA\",\"teamShortLabel\":\"United States (USA)\",\"teamPrimaryColor\":\"B31942\"}\" data-away-team=\"{\"id\":\"af74fa63-1129-4d15-85e6-32eee327d481\",\"oracleId\":2911711,\"location\":\"Belgium\",\"imageId\":null,\"mediumName\":\"Belgium\",\"nickname\":\"Belgium\",\"teamAbbreviation\":\"BEL\",\"teamShortLabel\":\"Belgium (BEL)\",\"teamPrimaryColor\":\"FB0016\"}\" data-game-abbreviation=\"WCS_20260706_BEL@USA\" data-game-date=\"{\"date\":\"2026-07-07 00:00:00.000000\",\"timezone_type\":3,\"timezone\":\"UTC\"}\" data-league=\"89d43ecd-2a5b-46c9-920b-ad3602deee7e\" data-market-type=\"standard\" data-market-data=\"[{\"title\":false,\"label\":\"Total\",\"value\":4,\"object\":false,\"metadata\":false}]\" data-pick=\"{\"marketType\":\"standard\",\"type\":\"total\",\"marketId\":4,\"marketName\":\"Total\",\"gameId\":50027360,\"gameAbbr\":\"BEL@USA\",\"vendorMarketId\":\"sr:market:18\",\"vendorGameId\":\"sr:match:53452515\",\"selectionId\":null,\"teamId\":null,\"teamAbbr\":null,\"teamColor\":null,\"pick\":\"over\",\"odds\":-140,\"line\":2.5,\"book\":35,\"bookName\":\"FanDuel\",\"vendorBookId\":\"sr:book:18186\",\"isBranded\":true}\" data-pick-field-data=\"[{\"title\":false,\"label\":\"Over 2.5 -140\",\"value\":\"gameId=50027360;marketId=4;marketType=standard;book=35;isBranded=true;client=sl;pick=over\",\"object\":false,\"metadata\":false}]\" book=\"35\" book-name=\"FanDuel\" vendor-book-id=\"sr:book:18186\" is-branded=\"true\"><\/p>\n<p>    <\/sportsline-pick-snippet><\/p>\n<h2>How to make USA vs. Belgium picks<\/h2>\n<p>After studying Belgium vs. USA from every angle, Green has found a critical x-factor and locked in a pair of best bets for this matchup.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/usmnt-vs-belgium-odds-predictions-2026-world-cup-round-of-16-picks-from-proven-soccer-expert\/#ttag=07042026_agg_cbssports_picks_soccer_worldcup_green_USMNTBelgium\" target=\"_blank\">You can head to SportsLine to see what they are<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what are the best bets for USMNT vs. Belgium?
