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).
