Double chance : draw or Belgium

The USA are in very poor shape, having lost their last five matches, including some heavy defeats like a 4-1 loss. They are really struggling to find any momentum heading into this World Cup game. Belgium have had a mixed run, with a couple of draws, a big win, and a recent loss, but they have shown they can score goals, putting five past an opponent in one of those games.

Since these two teams haven't played each other recently, we can't look at past meetings for clues. However, given the USA's terrible run of form and Belgium's more balanced recent results, this looks like a very open match where Belgium have a good chance of avoiding defeat. This game is likely to be close, but Belgium seem to be in a better position to get something from it, possibly a draw.
