[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The USMNT welcomes Ghana for an International Friendly Tuesday. Kickoff from Geodis Park in Nashville is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the USMNT vs. Ghana odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

The USMNT has competed frequently since the 2022 Qatar World Cup, playing 10 matches since the start of June, 3 of which were friendlies. This will be their 2nd of 2 friendlies in October; the USNMNT lost 3-1 to Germany in the 1st match on Saturday. F Christian Pulisic scored the USMNT’s lone goal, putting them up 1-0 in the 27th minute. The USMNT ended with 6 shots and 3 on goal to Germany’s 13 and 4.

Ghana has also had an active 2023 and has played 6 matches since the start of March. It has a pair of friendlies in October as well, dropping the 1st 2-0 to Mexico on Saturday. That game was played in Charlotte with Mexico totaling 12 shots and 4 on frame to Ghana’s 8 and 4. AFC Bournemouth F Antoine Semenyo is the main threat for Ghana, and he has scored in the English Premier League this season.

USMNT vs. Ghana picks and predictions

Prediction

USMNT 2, Ghana 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET USMNT (-145).

The USMNT has handled easier competition in friendlies with ease this season, taking down Oman 4-0 on Sept. 12 and Uzbekistan 3-0 on Sept. 9. Ghana ranks 60th in the Men’s FIFA World Rankings with Mexico sitting 12th.

The USMNT ranks 11th and will have its top team on the pitch Tuesday. Ghana took on a Mexican team with both teams on the road Saturday and lost 2-0. Put the pieces together and the USMNT should come out on top. Back the USMNT (-145).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-135).

While Ghana shouldn’t present much of a challenge when it comes to the result of the game, it should have a better defense than Uzbekistan and Oman, both of which allowed 3 goals to the USMNT earlier this fall.

Ghana gave up just 2 to Mexico and allowed just 4 shots on frame, and considering it didn’t have a shot on goal, it may not succeed often Tuesday either. Ghana’s defense is good enough to limit to the USMNT to under 3, and its offense isn’t good enough to get on the board.

Take UNDER 2.5 (-135).

2022 World Cup: South Korea vs. Ghana odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s South Korea vs. Ghana odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In a Group H battle Monday, South Korea (0 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) will battle Ghana (0-1-0). Kickoff from Education City Stadium is set for 8 a.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the South Korea vs. Ghana odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

South Korea opened their World Cup up with a 0-0 draw with Uruguay. It was one of the calmer games as possession was split 57/43 in favor of Uruguay, and there was only 1 shot on target.

The most lethal and well-known South Korean player is F Son Heung-min, who plays club for Tottenham Hotspurs and is one of the most lethal strikers in the EPL.

Ghana lost their opener to Portugal, drawing the match at 1 with a 73rd-minute goal from M Andre Ayew. Ghana then conceded 2 goals in the next 3 minutes and struck late to see the final end 3-2.

Ghana had just 38% of the possession and ended with 3 shots on target. Ghana has many talented players in the EPL and Spanish leagues. They rank 61st in the world which compares to South Korea sitting 28th.

Prediction

Ghana 2, South Korea 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN GHANA (+205).

Ghana has talented players and looked like the more-competent offense in their opener.

They should also be able to bring some of that late-game scoring momentum into this game. F Inaki Williams was limited against Portugal, but the Athletic Bilbao striker should have an easier matchup.

They also have a combination of Arsenal M Thomas Partey and Ajax M Mohammed Kudus in the midfield, which should help them keep possession.

Similarly, South Korea didn’t get a shot on target against Uruguay, which isn’t quite at the level of Portugal. Outside of Heung-min, the talent drops off significantly.

Ghana is the deeper side, and I would play them to win outright for a partial unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (+140).

Ghana found their rhythm late against Portugal. Ayew and F Jordan Ayew, who didn’t start against Portugal, should find success against South Korea.

That said, while South Korea didn’t get much going against Uruguay, they do still have Heung-min, who has 35 goals in 105 caps and is one of the best distributors in the tournament.

South Korea took on a tough Uruguay defense, which is captained by star veteran D Diego Godin. Ghana gave up 3 to Portugal and should be a flimsier defense.

2022 World Cup: Portugal vs. Ghana odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Portugal vs. Ghana odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Portugal will take on Ghana in a Group H group stage match Thursday with kickoff at Stadium 974 in Rass Abou Abound, Qatar, scheduled for 11 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Portugal vs. Ghana odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Portugal is a fan favorite and 1 of the more popular teams because of legendary F Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play in his last World Cup. The 37-year-old striker needs no introduction since his legacy across club and country is nothing short of iconic.

Portugal is 9th in FIFA’s world rankings due to the impressive lineup that has made them successful in their 2022 season and will hopefully make them successful in Qatar. Some big names include D Ruben Dias, M Ronaldo, M Bruno Fernandes, M Bernardo Silva, and F Rafael Leao.

Ghana is a team that everyone is counting out, but as we have seen with the Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia fixture, miracles can happen. They only have a 10% chance to win the match and 20% chance to draw. For a team that is ranked 61st in the FIFA rankings, a 30% chance to get a result could be worse considering the caliber of Portugal’s squad. 

Ghana has scored 13 goals in 14 games in 2022. Players who have this capability to put the ball in the back of the net are M Andre Ayew, M Thomas Partey, and M Mohammed Kudus. They can do damage on the offensive and defensive end due to their club-level experience playing at Arsenal, Al Sadd, and Ajax.

Prediction

Portugal 3, Ghana 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Portugal is a world-class squad and has overall played a harder 2022 schedule and beaten most of their opponents.

The young talent that they have mixed with Ronaldo being a mentor to them makes them 1 of the strongest teams in the tournament.

Ghana just shouldn’t be able to maintain the same pace, but at (-260), betting on Portugal doesn’t yield enough of a return. 

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-105).

With the number of threats on the offensive end for Portugal, it should be no problem for them to be able to score goals. Couple that with Ghana, who has allowed 3 or more goals 4 times in 2022, and the Ronaldo-led side should be just fine moving forward.

Ghana has scored in 7 of their last 9, so there’s hope they’ll get on the board as well in this battle. Considering it all, I’d back the Over 2.5 (-105).
