Ence's Prediction: Expect Belgium to upset Team USA.

The United States plays an important World Cup warm-up match on Sunday when they host Belgium at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Both nations take the pitch for the first time in the new year, and with just three months until the World Cup, it’s a last opportunity for experimenting and finalizing rosters.

This should be an entertaining matchup between two Top 15 nations, and I break it down in my USA vs. Belgium predictions and free soccer picks for Sunday, March 29.

USA vs Belgium picks and predictions

My USA vs Belgium best bet: Belgium ML (+125 at Sports Interaction)

Belgium boasts a free-flowing attack that will cause problems for any team. They scored 29 goals over eight UEFA World Cup qualifiers, punishing teams with pace while Kevin De Bruyne pulls the strings.

The United States must navigate the match with Tyler Adams and Sergino Dest still injured. Jeremy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere will put pressure on their replacements.

There are still questions in goal for the USMNT as well, and this Belgian side is equipped to test whoever is in the net.

The Americans have lost their last six matches against UEFA opposition, and that trend will continue.

Over 3.5 goals

Belgium enters the match without the services of Thibaut Courtois, who is nursing a thigh injury. That opens things up a bit more for the Yanks against a Belgian side that likes to send their wide defenders forward in attack.

The American goalkeeping situation is something that can’t be overstated. Whether Matt Freese or Matt Turner has the gloves, this Belgian attack will be foaming at the mouth to test them as often as possible and have the quality to score goals.

We will see Belgium involved in a 4+ goal affair for the sixth time in eight matches.
