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.

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.
