USA v Ghana

USA defied expectations by winning Group C and finishing above England thanks to a last minute goal against Algeria from Landon Donovan.

That goal means USA get to play Ghana instead of Germany, that seems much easier on paper but the Germany v Ghana match shows there is not a great deal between the two teams and this could be a very close match.

BACK USA TO BEAT GHANA

The narrow favourites to win this game are USA and the bookies seem to have got it spot on, a very narrow win for USA looks the most likely result. It was no fluke that USA won Group C, they had a legitimate goal disallowed late on against Slovakia and should have won that game and they had a massive amount of chances against Algeria, so they weren't lucky to get a last minute winner. USA are a very good team and they should prove it by beating Ghana, who have done very well so far but may have gone as far as they can.

USA v Ghana Asian Handicap Odds

The Asian Handicap is an interesting bet as it usually gives one team a lead that should be enough to cancel out any superiority the favourites for the game have.

BACK USA +0

With this game being so finely balanced, neither team is being given an advantage in the asian handicap meaning this market is now effectively draw no bet. The biggest fear for those backing USA is that they might not score and the game will finish up goalless and if that happens in this bet you get your money back so USA are a confident bet in the asian handicap.

BACK USA TO WIN 1-0 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

USA have been involved in one high scoring game so far (2-2 against Slovenia) but the 1-1 draw against England and the 1-0 win against Algeria looks closer to their real form. They have been creating plenty of chances but they just don't quite have the talent to finish them off. There have only been four goals in the three Ghana matches so far and two of those have been penalties and one was a goalkeeping error. Ghana have not even scored in open play so this really looks as though it will be low scoring and there should certainly be under 2.5 goals.

USA are unlikely to score many goals in this game, in fact they might not score at all, but they should certainly be able to keep a clean sheet. USA look most likely to win this match 1-0 and the biggest danger to that seems to be a 0-0 draw. Fortunately if you back 1-0 at Bet365 and the game finishes 0-0 you get your losing stake back so have a confident bet on USA winning 1-0 with Bet365.

BACK LANDON DONOVAN TO SCORE FIRST AGAINST GHANA

Landon Donovan hasn't need any penalties to get his two goals and he looks the most clinical of the USA forwards, he is selected ahead of the misfiring Jozy Altidore to score the first goal against Ghana.
