USA vs. Serbia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s USA vs. Serbia odds and lines, with USMNT expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The United States Men’s National Team battles the Serbia Men’s National Team Wednesday in Los Angeles. Kickoff from BMO Stadium is set for 10 p.m. ET (HBO Max). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the USA vs. Serbia odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

The USMNT won’t have many familiar faces as this call-up roster seems more primed to showcase the next group of talent for the USA. As many as 13 players could make their 1st cap for the USA, including FC Cincinnati F Brandon Vazquez and America F Alejandro Zendejas. This will be the 1st action for the USMNT since it lost to the Netherlands in the Round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup.

The Serbian national team didn’t escape the group sage of the World Cup, but they did make the 32-team tournament which says enough about their quality. They only managed 1 point in their 3 games, a 3-3 draw with Cameroon. Serbia sits 21st in the world according to FIFA’s worl rankings while the USA is 13th.

USA vs. Serbia picks and predictions

Prediction

USA 1, Serbia 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN USA (-160).

The value isn’t necessarily here to make this a full-unit play, but the USMNT is bringing some talented players to take on what should be Serbia’s 2nd-string team. Both countries will feature young, promising talent.

The USMNT will feature some consistent names though, especially in the defensive side with M Kellyn Acosta and D Walker Zimmerman at camp. With several forwards likely getting time and making their first start, especially the highly-anticipated first cap for Zendejas, the forwards could struggle to find much comradery.

Nonetheless, there isn’t much impressive about this Serbian roster, and I’d back the USMNT here to hold them without a goal.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-122).

Given the turnover from the World Cup rosters for both teams, it doesn’t make much sense to use those performances to justify betting the Under.

At the same time, that helps justify it as the USMNT has 13 players making their 1st cap which could bode poorly for stringing together qualify attacking sets. The drama surrounding the USMNT and management could also bring unneeded distractions to the club.

None of Serbia’s players were on their World Cup roster with 3 MLS players highlighting the roster. The talent won’t be there to consistently get through what should be a strong USMNT defense.

Considering all the new talent being put together on short notice, back the UNDER 2.5 (-122).

2022 World Cup: Serbia vs Switzerland odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Serbia vs Switzerland odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Serbia (0 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw) battles Switzerland (1-1-0) in each nation’s final Group G group stage match. Kickoff from Stadium 974 – Ras Abu Aboud is set for 2 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Serbia vs. Switzerland odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Serbia can advance if it wins and Brazil wins or ties against Cameroon So far in the group stage, Serbia drew Cameroon 3-3 and lost 2-0 to Brazil. They were dominated by Brazil, ending with just 5 shots and 0 on target.

While they did find more success against Cameroon, 2 of their goals came in 1st-half stoppage time, and they still had 3 fewer shots on target (8-5). Positively, they had 2 more shots (15-13) and 60% possession.

Switzerland has a 1-0 win over Cameroon and a 1-0 loss to Brazil. They were also held without a shot on target against Brazil. The Swiss will advance to the round of 16 if they beat Serbia and can also advance with a tie against Serbia if Brazil wins or ties its match against Cameroon.

M Granit Xhaka, who plays his club soccer with EPL-leading Arsenal, captains Switzerland, which is 15th in FIFA’s world rankings. Serbia sits 21st.

Prediction

Switzerland 1, Serbia 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+235).

Switzerland doesn’t play at a quick pace, and if might just need a draw to advance which could mean they take their time in the attack. They have given up just 1 goal in the tournament so far, and that was in the 83rd minute against Brazil.

Even against Cameroon, the Swiss had just 3 shots on target despite having 51% possession. M Xherdan Shaqiri, who used to play for Liverpool, will bring a slower pace as well now 31 years old.

Switzerland played a close game with Cameroon, as did Serbia. Serbia was up 3-1 on Cameroon yet drew 3-3. Nonetheless, it also dominated possession. Both teams are possession-heavy sides and have quality talent in the middle.

This game should be as close as they come given how each team has faired against other Group G sides, and I would back the DRAW (+235) for the value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-120).

Serbia scored 3 on Cameroon yet had just 5 shots on target. If that is repeated, it is doubtful it results in a trio of goals.

For Switzerland, they sat back well and defended against Brazil and also limited Cameroon. The Swiss style of play isn’t a pressing one. It is more methodical and possession-oriented.

Switzerland went Under this total in 3 of their 5 games coming into the World Cup. Including group stage play, they have gone Under this total in 5 of their last 7.

Given Switzerland should dominate possession, I would back this to be played at their style which should result in fewer goals. Play the UNDER 2.5 (-120).

2022 World Cup: Cameroon vs. Serbia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Cameroon vs. Serbia odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Cameroon (0 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws) battles Serbia (0-1-0) Monday. Kickoff from Al Janoub Stadium is set for 5 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cameroon vs. Serbia odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Serbia comes in as the favorite and has a 55% chance to win. However, they did lose their opener to Brazil 2-0, so this will be a must-win battle for both sides as each will play a top Group G competitor in their next game.

Serbia was dominated in all aspects of the game, being held to just 5 shots while giving up 23. Although it’s tough to criticize them too much leading into his battle as Brazil is among the tournament favorites.

Cameroon lost to Switzerland 1-0 in their opener. They actually ended the match with 49% of the possession, more shots on goal and shots than the Swiss.

The Cameroon attack is one led by F Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. He has 19 goals in 70 caps and plays for Bayern Munich. Brentford F Bryan Mbeumo is another name to keep an eye on.

Prediction

Cameroon 1, Serbia 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Cameroon is a strong underdog, but they have quality players from top leagues. Several from their midfield play in Italy, and many defenders are in France for their club ball. Cameroon also had the more convincing opening-round performance.

Cameroon had drawn 5 of 14 2022 matches coming into the World Cup and had as many opportunities as the Swiss, who rank 15th in the world. Serbia ranks 21st with Cameroon sitting 43rd.

Serbia was 6-2-1 in 2022 coming into the World Cup, but they had few meaningful competitions against top opponents. While it is a risk, the upside of Cameroon makes the DRAW (+270) a good value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-135).

This should be the safe play as neither team really showed an attacking prowess in their first game. Cameroon and Serbia combined for 5 shots on target and 0 goals.

Serbia didn’t even have a shot on goal and doesn’t necessarily have the lethal striking it will take to top the total. Cameroon has gone Under 2.5 goals in 6 straight matches as well.

Both teams went Under 2.5 in their opener and showed enough defensively to help make this the game’s best betting option despite the juice.

Previewing Saturday’s Serbia vs. France odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball bronze medal picks, tips and best bets.

The bronze medal in the Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball Tournament will be awarded early Saturday morning when Serbia and France clash in a 3 a.m. ET tip-off at Saitama Super Arena. Below, we preview the Serbia vs. France odds and lines, and make our best Summer Olympics bets, picks and predictions.

It’s a quick turnaround for both sides. Serbia fell 79-59 to the USA in Friday morning’s semifinal game and France was dealt an 87-71 loss by host nation Japan.

Serbia went 2-1 in the Group Stage but with a minus-7 point differential. It topped China 77-70 in the quarterfinals before losing to the powerhouse USA squad. France went just 1-2 in group play but with a plus-10 point differential. It edged past Spain 67-64 in the quarters before being blown out by Japan.

Serbia vs. France: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Serbia 71, France 68

Money line (ML)

Back SERBIA (+105) as a short underdog for the bronze medal. It faced the tougher test in the semifinal and will look to take some pointers from the dominant USA system.

Serbia had the more impressive quarterfinals win and was better in the Group Stage, outside of an 85-70 loss to Spain. France has lost twice to Japan, lost 93-82 to the USA in the Group Stage but managed to boost its point differential with a 25-point win over lowly Nigeria.

France and Serbia entered the Olympics fifth and eighth, respectively, in the FIBA world ranking, but look for Serbia to improve after most recently playing the Americans.

Against the spread (ATS)

Get some added insurance on the underdog by backing SERBIA +1.5 (-115).

Again, France is in the bronze medal game despite winning just two games in this tournament. It beat Spain by just 3 points in the quarterfinals.

Over/Under (O/U)

Bet the UNDER 142.5 (-120).

France was held to 71 or fewer points in three of its five games this tournament and Serbia held three of five opponents to 70 or fewer points.

USA vs. Serbia: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

USA 81, Serbia 70

Money line (ML)

Team USA (-3000) is a safe bet to win as the top-ranked women’s basketball team in the world. The Americans haven’t even been given a scare in this tournament and will secure a spot in the gold medal game with another comfy victory.

PASS on the chalky money line and turn to the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

USA is the better shooting team from all areas of the court and is also the superior rebounding team. Serbia has been better in points off of turnovers, but USA has advantages in fast-break points, second-chance points and points in the paint.

Still, the spread is far too big for a semifinals game. The Americans won just one game thus far by more than 18 points and Serbia has played well defensively while allowing more than 70 points just once through four games.

Back SERBIA +18.5 (-120) to stay within 18 points in a loss.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 159.5 (-120) is the best play in what’s projected to be a blowout win for the Americans.

Serbia has shot 35.5% from 3-point range in the tournament and will struggle to close the gap if the USA builds a large lead.
