Ahead of the World Cup Round of 16, FanDuel lists the USMNT as a +155 favorite to beat Belgium (+165), a surprising swing given Belgium is ranked No. 9 to the United States' No. 15 and Balogun will miss the match after a red card in a 2-0 group-stage win. The US advanced from its group with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Belgium edged Senegal 3-2 thanks to a late Youri Tielemans equalizer. Historically, the United States has beaten Belgium only once in six tries (1930) and has reached the World Cup Round of 16 only once (also in 1930).
Balogun’s red card in the win over Bosnia forced the USMNT to play a stretch with 10 men, but oddsmakers still favor USA to beat Belgium in Seattle on July 6 and advance. DraftKings lists USA as -130 to qualify, -150 to win in 90 minutes (with Balogun likely in the lineup strongly affecting the edge), a +250 draw, and Belgium +180. In the three-way market, USA +145, Belgium +200, and a draw +260. Balogun has 3 goals in 3 World Cup games, making his absence a notable blow for coach Mauricio Pochettino as the U.S. aims for a quarterfinal berth and potential Spain matchup down the line.
France is the heavy -340 favorite to beat Sweden in the World Cup Round of 32, with the draw at +500; a common bet is France -1.5 at -125, and Ousmane Dembele is highlighted at +100 to score anytime, as Mbappe may be double-teamed. A 2-0 or 3-1 France win is anticipated.
