El Salvador vs. USA CONCACAF Nations League odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s El Salvador vs. USA odds and lines, with CONCACAF Nations League picks and predictions.

El Salvador welcomes USA to Estadio Cuscatlán in San Salvador, El Salvador Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the El Salvador vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best USMNT bets, picks and predictions.

The United States Men’s National Team, after playing several friendlies and beating Grenada 5-0 Friday, will take on El Salvador in its second CONCACAF Nations League match.

The USA is in a 3-country group. The USMNT drew Uruguay 0-0 last Sunday and beat Morocco 3-0 June 1. It crushed Grenada behind 4 goals from F Jesus Ferreira.

El Salvador has already played 2 Nations League matches, drawing Grenada 2-2 at home and winning at Grenada 3-1.

While it appears El Salvador may have a capable attack, they had just 9 shots on goal, netting 5 of them. Those same opportunities most likely won’t be available against the USMNT.

  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -107 | U: -135)

[tipico]

Prediction

USA 3, El Salvador 1

Money line (ML)

PASS.

The USA absolutely dominated Grenada. They had 68% of the possession and didn’t allow a single shot on target, holding Grenada, who did draw El Salvador, to just 3 shots.

While it is notable that the USMNT’s record is significantly worse on the road than in domestic play, where they crushed Grenada, I still see little way that El Salvador competes.

They’re more in the realm of Grenada and less like a top-15 FIFA team like USA. El Salvador ranks 74th in the world. While at home, El Salvador still shouldn’t get much traction.

At -270, I’m not banking on the USMNT putting their best product on the field and easily winning this battle either.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-107).

All 3 of the Nations League games that these teams have played have gone over this total. USA beat Grenada 5-0 while El Salvador beat them 3-1 and tied 2-2.

El Salvador has several MLS players on its roster and 31-year-old F Nelson Bonilla who netted 2 against Grenada in the 3-1 victory. While I expect the USA to come out on top, they haven’t allowed a goal in over 270 minutes.

Given the tired legs of D Walker Zimmerman, I expect to see at least 1 goal for the home side.

With the dominant attackers USA has, netting 5 on Grenada and 3 on top-25 Morocco, they should be able to score at will. USA had 25 shots on Grenada, 10 on target.

I expect a similar result as 2 of the USA’s 3 recent performances have gone over this against far more difficult opponents. Combine it all, and I expect the Over 2.5 (-107) to hit.

USA vs. Grenada odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s USMNT vs. Grenada odds and lines, with CONCACAF Nations League picks and predictions.

USA welcomes Grenada to Q2 Stadium in Austin Friday. Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the USA vs. Grenada odds and lines, and make our best USMNT bets, picks and predictions.

The United States Men’s National Team, after playing several friendlies, will take on Grenada in its first CONCACAF Nations League action.

The USA is in a 3-country group along with El Salvador. The USMNT drew Uruguay, 0-0, last Sunday and beat Morocco, 3-0, the Wednesday before that as well.

Grenada has already played 2 Nations League matches, drawing and losing to El Salvador. It was a 3-1 loss and 2-2 draw.

While it appears Grenada may have a capable attack, they scored those 3 goals with a mere 7 shots on target. So it has been more about capitalizing on chances rather than creating them in volume.

  • Money line: USA -20000 (bet $20,000 to win $100) | Grenada +6000 (bet $100 to win $6,000) | Draw +1200
  • Over/Under: 4.5 (O: -220 | U: +150)

[tipico]

Prediction

USA 4, Grenada 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

There’s just no good value here. That’s really all that needs to be said.

The USMNT has been dominant at home, winning 8 of their last 9 domestic games, which included a win over World Cup-qualifying Mexico. They recently drew Uruguay, a top-15 nation in the world.

Put it all together, and the USMNT should have no trouble taking on Grenada, a team that sits 170th on FIFA’s world rankings. The USMNT are 15th, which is why this massive valuation difference comes into play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 4.5 (+150).

The USMNT has been playing some high-level matches lately that have been preparing the team for the November World Cup.

In doing so, M Weston McKennie and F Christian Pulisic have logged ample minutes. It wouldn’t be unlikely to see them pass the torch here, especially in a group that the US should easily dominate.

The US held Uruguay scoreless, so they should be able to secure a clean sheet against Grenada.

With how Gregg Berhalter will likely play this match, and the personnel he’ll use against Grenada’s subpar attack, I would play the UNDER 4.5 (+150) as the best and only reasonable bet.

USA vs. Uruguay odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s USMNT vs. Uruguay odds and lines, with international friendly picks and predictions.

USA welcomes Uruguay to Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City for a friendly Sunday. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we preview the USA vs. Uruguay odds and lines, and make our best USMNT bets, picks and predictions.

Both clubs will be using this as a tuneup for the 2022 World Cup, which is set to take place in Qatar, starting in November.

The USMNT is in Group B with Iran and England along with Sunday’s winner between Ukraine and Wales. Uruguay is in an easier Group H with Portugal, Ghana and South Korea.

USA will have many of its big-name players like F Christian Pulisic, who played 65 minutes against Morocco Wednesday, star M Weston McKennie, who played 18 minutes, and Bayern Munich M Malik Tillman, who made his USMNT debut.

The USMNT comes is No. 15 in the FIFA men’s rankings, and 13th-ranked Uruguay should provide a better match than what No. 24 Morocco did.

The South American side is led by Manchester United’s F Edinson Cavani, who has 56 goals in 131 caps.

USMNT vs. Uruguay odds, lines, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:13 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: USA +180 (bet $100 to win $180) | Uruguay +160 (bet $100 to win $160) | Draw +205
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +120 | U: -160)

[tipico]

Prediction

USA 2, Uruguay 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN USA (+180).

The USMNT has won 8 straight games in its home country, including a 2-0 win against 9th-ranked Mexico. USA’s most-recent win was a 3-0 victory over Morocco Wednesday.

Uruguay beat Mexico 3-0 Thursday despite only having 4 shots on goal. Two of the goals came from Cavani.

Uruguay has won all 5 of its international matches this year. While it has dominated lately, Uruguay was just 8-6-4 in World Cup qualifying, scoring 22 goals and allowing 22 in 18 matches.

Since Copa America, Uruguay is 0-3-1 against FIFA top-15 sides, losing twice to Argentina and once to Brazil.

Given the USMNT’s record in domestic-played games along with the extremely talented roster it is gearing up to play with at the World Cup, I’ll  back the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+120).

As mentioned, USA beat Morocco 3-0. There could’ve been far more goals though as the road side tested the USMNT often and even had a missed penalty kick.

Replay the match with those chances (22 shots and 8 on target) and Morocco scores at least 2. USA capitalized on its chances, hitting 10 shots on target with 11 total attempts. USA has gone over this total in 3 of its last 5.

Uruguay is a lethal attacking side led by Cavani and also 23-year-old M Federico Valverde. Uruguay has gone over this total in 3 of its last 6 matches.

Uruguay should break through at least once in this battle.

USA vs. Morocco odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s USMNT vs. Morocco odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

USA welcomes Morocco to TQL Stadium in Cincinnati Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the USA vs. Morocco odds and lines, and make our best USMNT bets, picks and predictions.

Both clubs will be using this as a tune-up match for the 2022 World Cup which is set to take place in Qatar, starting in November.

The USMNT is in Group B with Iran and England along with one of Ukraine, Scotland or Wales. Morocco is in an extremely difficult Group F with Belgium, Croatia and Canada.

USA will have many of its big-name players like F Christian Pulisic for this match, while star M Weston McKennie is only expected to play 20 minutes.

The USMNT comes in ranked 15th in FIFA Men’s Rankings, and the 24th ranked Morocco should provide a good matchup. F Youssef En-Nesyri has 12 career national team goals for the visiting side and is the team’s most lethal attacking option.

  • Money line: USA +100 (bet $100 to win $100) | Morocco +295 (bet $100 to win $295) | Draw +215
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +130 | U: -175)

[tipico]

Prediction

USA 2, Morocco 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN USA (+100).

The United States Men’s National Team has won 7 straight games in its home country. A 2-0 win against 9th-ranked Mexico is included in those results.

Morocco has never lost to USA, but this isn’t the same caliber of team it’s used to. The most recent game Morocco played against a high-level opponent was a 2-1 loss to Egypt earlier this year where it’s only marker came on a penalty shot in the 7th minute.

Morocco was 6-0-0 with a +19 goal differential in Group I play in CAF qualifying. Again, the competition wasn’t quite at the level the USA will be playing with.

Given the USMNT’s record in domestic-played games along with the extremely talented roster they’re gearing up to play with at the World Cup, I expect them to play with pace and competence.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+130).

The USMNT is starting Aaron Long and Walker Zimmerman which isn’t exactly a quick center-back combo. Miles Robinson will be out for the foreseeable future with an injury which is certainly not ideal. He’s played a key role defensively as of late.

Then, you have players like Pulisic and the talented F Jesus Ferreira expected to get a good chunk of minutes. M Tyler Adams should also be able to play with pace.

Morocco allowed just a few goals in qualifying and is led defensively by PSG D Achraf Hakimi Mouh. He has 8 goals in 48 contests. En-Nesyri could play impactful minutes as well.

It’s the riskier side, but considering who the USMNT is starting and then the threat combination of talent Morocco showed in the CAF qualifying, I expect to see a plethora of goals in Cincinnati.
