There are three more Round of 32 matches in the 2026 World Cup on Wednesday, and the U.S. Men’s National Team will put out a fresh squad for their matchup with Bosnia and Herzegovina at 8 p.m. ET.

- England vs. DR Congo: England -1.5
- Belgium vs. Senegal: Over 2.5 goals scored
USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Both teams to score
“Both teams to score could be an interesting bet in this game. It has paid off in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s last 10 competitive matches, and the USMNT defense looked shaky at times during the group stage,” Green reported. “The USA have only kept one clean sheet in their last 11 games – that 2-0 victory over Australia – so they’re liable to concede in this match.”
England vs. DR Congo: England -1.5
“England have shown flashes of attacking brilliance during this tournament. They beat Croatia 4-2, drew 0-0 with Ghana, and then beat Panama 2-0. That means they’ve covered a 1.5-goal spread in two out of three games so far. They also covered a 1.5-goal spread in seven of their eight World Cup qualifiers,” Green reported. “Going back further, The Three Lions have covered a 1.5-goal spread in 12 of their last 14 competitive matches. They have enough firepower to beat DR Congo, as Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane are in fine form right now, and they really should win this game comfortably.”
Belgium vs. Senegal: Over 2.5 goals scored
“This promises to be an entertaining game between two high-scoring teams that struggle to defend. Over 2.5 goals paid off in all three of Senegal’s group stage games – a 3-1 loss to France, a 3-2 defeat to Norway, and a 5-0 win against Iraq. Belgium are coming off a heavy 5-1 win against New Zealand, which should boost their morale,” Green reported.
