England vs USA Betting Lines
England: Attacking Firepower
Gareth Southgate’s men blew Iran out of the water and were at their attacking best in the World Cup opener. It is the perfect start to their campaign, and now they face the United States in their second match. England is the most dangerous they have looked in the last seven months.
Harry Kane underwent a scan on his ankle on Wednesday morning, according to reports, but the team expects him to be available for Friday’s match. Gareth Southgate’s big calls and change to an attacking system paid off against Iran, but he may favor a more defensive approach against Team USA.
If so, expect Eric Dier to come into a back three, supported by John Stones and Harry Maguire. Buyayo Saka and Raheem Sterling were on the scoresheet against Iran and deserve to keep their place. The Declan Rice-Jude Bellingham partnership for England means that the midfield battle is going to be a part of the game that grabs your attention. A win against the United States will also allow England to test its bench strength in the final match.
The key question for Southgate and his players will be their ability to build on their opening game and reverse the negativity of 2022. With their struggles to generate positivity, England have also had issues with keeping clean sheets. There has been just one competitive shutout in 12 months ahead of traveling to the World Cup.
Wins bring wins and we will certainly include England in our soccer picks and parlays as they are by far the better side.
Team USA: Inconsistent
Gregg Berhalter’s men dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Wales. The Americans deservedly led at halftime but were poor after the break as Gareth Bale scored the equalizer from the penalty spot. Berhalter’s defense doesn’t look solid enough to keep out the likes of Kane, Saka and Sterling.
Leeds United midfielder Brenden Aaronson is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while Weston McKennie, Sergino Dest, Tim Ream and Kellyn Acosta are all one yellow card away from suspension. Christian Pulisic is the man the Americans look to for inspiration and he provided a classy assist for Timo Weah against Wales.
Any mistakes against the English will be punished, and Berhalter will be hoping his young team can produce a surprise of their own. The Americans do not have the necessary weapons to keep up with a team like England in a high-scoring game, so if you’re betting online make sure to fade the USMNT.

England vs USA Picks & Prediction
- Worth Betting on the Moneyline?
England won 3-0 in a 2018 friendly when they last faced Team USA, but it ended 1-1 when these nations faced off in the group stage at the 2010 World Cup. The Three Lions enter this clash as favorites at -175 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds. England should be in a confident mood after hitting six against Iran, while the Americans may be a little deflated after blowing a lead against Wales. There’s no way we will back England at this price, but you can still stick the moneyline in a parlay.
- Worth Betting Against the Spread?
England showed how good this team can look in important games. England have scored at least two goals in four of their last five meetings with the USA, two of which have produced 2-0 victories. The spread is set at -1 and we expect England to cover it and win by at least two goals. In case of a short win, your bet will push and you will receive your stake back.
- Worth Betting the Totals?
There have been 14 goals scored across England’s last two games across all competitions and the fact they had five different scorers suggests that this clash should go over. The goal line is set at 2½ with the over being priced at -115. The USMNT should be able to help here as they have hit 15 goals in their last nine games across all competitions and England has only managed one clean sheet in its last seven fixtures.
SCORE PREDICTION: England 3, USA 1
