Portugal United States betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts in the field two teams who are going through somewhat different realities within world football. While Portugal is at an advanced level, although still below national teams like Germany and England, the United States appear in a lower level, since they do not have any title of prominence, and have just had their absence decreed in the next Cup of the World, this being the first time since 1986 that the Americans do not dispute the competition. 
In this way, by having a more qualified squad and going through a great phase, it is a good option to bet on the victory of Portugal, which still has the advantage of playing at home.

Portugal is going through a great phase in 2017, having come from six consecutive victories, and in the last four did not concede a goal, thus evidencing the consistency of its defensive system. 
This will be the second game of the Portuguese after the end of the World Cup qualifiers, where they finished in the lead of Group B, thus ensuring their presence in the World Cup to be played in Russia next year. 
In their last clash, a friendly against Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese national Team won by (3-0), with highlight for Gonçalo Guedes, who scored a goal and gave an assist. 
Coach Fernando Santos is expected to keep the team in the 4-4-2 but is likely to make some changes in the starting eleven.
