US vs Belgium Prediction World Cup Today

Christian Pulisic to Score or Assist (+115)

Folarin Balogun has been the standout player for the US this World Cup, but don't sleep on Christian Pulisic.

In the opener against Paraguay, Pulisic was electric in the first half before being subbed off due to injury, racking up an assist with two chances created against a stout defense. Pulisic looked a little rusty against Bosnia -- his first start since the opening match -- but made it through the game without an injury setbacks and played 88 minutes. He should be ready to rock tonight.

The US attack can find joy against what's been a meh Belgium defense. In the Round of 32 versus Senegal, Belgium allowed 2.99 expected goals in the 90 minutes and has kept just one clean sheet thus far despite a friendly group alongside Egypt, Iran and New Zealand.

Balogun's suspension being overturned can aid Pulisic in two ways -- it gives Belgium's defense someone else to worry about and it also gives Pulisic a great attacking partner.

Lastly, Pulisic is likely on penalties for the Americans, which is obviously a positive for this market.
