South Africa vs USA prediction

South Africa’s 5-0 thrashing of New Caledonia represented the ideal response following a narrow defeat against France. Now they need to beat USA in order to overtake them and sneak into the round of 16. But this is a USA side who have racked up 12 goals in the group stage already, whilst conceding just one.

Expect an ultra-attacking playstyle from South Africa with the onus on them to get the three points. They may well give the USA backline their toughest test yet. But at the same time, USA could wind up taking advantage of the extra space likely to be available for them inside the opportunity half. Therefore, backing both teams to score looks a shrewd move.

South Africa vs USA tip: Both teams to score
