The United States Men's National Team will look to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time since 2002 when they take on Belgium in what appears to be an evenly-matched battle in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 on Monday. USA earned a 2-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32, but lost star striker and leading scorer Folarin Balogun to a red card in the second half, meaning he will also miss this match. Belgium, meanwhile, beat Senegal 3-2 to advance.
Kickoff is at 8 p.m. ET in Seattle. The latest USMNT vs. Belgium odds from FanDuel Sportsbook list Belgium at +155 (risk $100 to win $155) on the 90-minute money line, with USA at +180 and a draw at +230. The over/under for total goals is 2.5. Belgium are -118 to advance, with USA at -104.

Top USA vs. Belgium predictions
After examining Belgium vs. USMNT from every angle, Green is leaning Over 2.5 total goals (-140). The Americans have scored at least twice in every match thus far. Green remains confident in USA's offense, even without Balogun. "Captain Christian Pulisic played for 88 minutes against Bosnia and Herzegovina after shaking off a calf injury, which gives the team a major boost," Green said. "We could see Pulisic and Ricardo Pepi 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."
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.
