- I like the United States winning by two goals, so take the handicap (-1.5) at -119.
- The game total won’t exceed three goals (-135).
The United States suffered more than expected in the quarterfinals against Costa Rica, but the Stars and Stripes remain the top favorites in the soccer odds to win the Gold Cup title at -110.
The fact that they will face Guatemala in the semifinals has a significant impact on that because everybody, including CONCACAF, was expecting the opponent to be Canada. The matchup also has a considerable impact on my predictions, which include the -1.5 soccer spread at -119.
USA vs Guatemala Gold Cup Prediction
For Guatemala, having reached the semifinals is a triumph. For the United States, not reaching the championship game would be a complete failure.
The USMNT suffered more than expected against Costa Rica, but won possession with 64 percent and took 18 shots in total, 11 more than Los Ticos. Additionally, Guatemala has suffered significantly more because all of its games have ended in draws or with a one-goal difference.
The home side will advance thanks to a 2-0 victory.
USA vs Guatemala Betting Tips
- Malik Tillman – Anytime Goalscorer (+175)
- USA – To win to nil (Ev)
- Total Corners Brackets – 6-8 Corners (+210)
Malik Tillman didn’t score against the Tricolor, but his performance was crucial for the Stars and Stripes to come from behind after Costa Rica’s first goal at 12 minutes. Also, Tillman is the USA’s top scorer in the regional tournament with three goals, so you won’t find a better option for the soccer player props.
Guatemala scored in three of its previous four games, but keep in mind that they played 45 minutes with one player more against Canada and still couldn’t win, and only scored one goal.
I don’t expect many corners because I expect Guatemala to rely on counterattacks.
Top 2 USA vs Guatemala Betting Picks
1. USA -1.5 (-119)
The United States scored 2+ goals in three of its previous four games, including a 5-0 victory against Trinidad and Tobago. Curiously enough, Guatemala has failed to defeat Trinidad and Tobago in their last three meetings.
Another reason to include the USMNT on my free soccer picks is that Guatemala hasn’t won two games in a row since June 2024.
2. Under 3 Goals (-135)
The match against the United States is Guatemala’s most challenging soccer game scheduled in a while. Before the quarterfinals, the Stars and Stripes only conceded one goal, and keep in mind that one of Costa Rica’s goals last Sunday was from the penalty spot. In other words, Guatemala will face one of the best defensive units in the tournament.
