USMNT vs. Trinidad and Tobago picks and predictions
Prediction
USMNT 3, Trinidad and Tobago 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
There just isn’t any value on the USMNT to win this game. Jamaica and USA are the clear top teams in the group, and on its home soil, USA should come out on top.
At (-800), there’s no value betting on it though, and given Trinidad and Tobago’s prior performance against Jamaica, taking a draw or the away team both don’t make much sense.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 3.5 (-115).
Trinidad and Tobago scored 3 on Saint Kitts and Nevis and then scored 1 on Jamaica, but it had just 5 shots on target throughout the first 2 games. It doesn’t have an elite attack and will be heavily limited against the USMNT.
While USA dominated Saint Kitts and Nevis, it had just 4 shots on target against Jamaica and is with a unit of several MLS stars, not the top-tier EPL talent the USMNT could’ve called up. The USMNT was not impressive against Jamaica and may struggle to produce in the final third in this game.
Given Trinidad and Tobago’s lack of attacking success and USA’s struggles against good competition, back fewer goals here and take UNDER 3.5 (-115).
