USMNT vs Wales 2022 World Cup Odds, Time, and Prediction

USMNT vs Wales 2022 World Cup Odds, Time, and Prediction

A couple of weeks ago, Wales captain Gareth Bale got into the spotlight of American sports fans by scoring the decisive goal for LAFC in the 8th minute of the stoppage time in the 2022 MLS Cup Final.

Fast-forward to Monday, November 21, and the Welshman is going to be on the radar of American soccer fans once again. This time, it’s because his national team will lock horns with the USMNT in the first round of the 2022 World Cup.

You can think of the USMNT vs Wales game as a crucial battle for the no.2 spot in the World Cup Group B (it’s very likely England will finish in the no.1 place). The winner of this game would make one giant leap toward the World Cup knockouts, so you can be 100% sure all the players on the pitch will give their utmost on Monday.

But who’s going to win? To see what we think about the USMNT vs Wales game, just keep on reading!

USMNT vs Wales Odds

Match-Winner

United States +162
Draw +200
Wales +200

Goals Over/Under

Over 2.5 +162
Under 2.5 -200

*Odds taken from bet365 on Wednesday, November 16.

When, Where, and How to Watch?

  • Place: Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar
  • Date: Monday, November 21, 2022

The United States Roster Has Never Been This Strong

Team USA is the third-most bet-on World Cup team with 11% of all the wagers. Even though the odds are pretty long (+13000), no one can say that bettors are crazy to back this team. The thing is that the roster of the USMNT hasn’t been this strong in a while. In fact, one may argue that this is the strongest squad in the history of Team US.

In the past, most of the USMNT players were playing in the MLS, which used to be a not-too-competitive league. In 2022, the American top tier is a fantastic championship with some really good players, nine of which have gotten the call-up to the World Cup.

The other 17 USMNT players are playing in top European leagues – the English Premier League (6 players), Spanish La Liga (2), German Bundesliga (2), Championship (2), Italian Serie A (2), Scottish Premiership (1), Turkish Superlig (1), and French Ligue 1 (1).

The standout name in the USMNT’s World Cup squad is Christian Pulisic. Admittedly, he hasn’t been getting a lot of playing time in Chelsea this season, but there’s no arguing that he’s an exceptional talent.

The best thing, however, is that Team US isn’t a one-man army. This team has plenty of other players who are almost as equally good as Pulisic – Giovanni Reyna, Timothy Weah, Weston McKennie, Brenden Aaronson, Sergino Dest, and others.

Gareth Bale’s Job in Qatar is to Score Goals

Gareth Bale is the biggest star on the Wales roster, as well as the man in charge of scoring goals. He’s scored 40 goals for his national team, which is twice as much as Aaron Ramsey, the second-top scorer in this team’s World Cup squad.

That said, if Bale doesn’t play great in Qatar, Wales probably won’t score many goals. Unfortunately, the Welshman isn’t in great form right now. He did score a historic goal in the grand finale of the 2022 MLS, but that was his first (and only) goal since summer. In fact, the former Real Madrid superstar has scored only six goals in 2022.

On the bright side for Wales, this team does have plenty of amazing players in other parts of the pitch. Their defense is very good, with players like Ben Davies, Neco Williams, Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, and others. Further, they also have a good goalie. Actually, they have good goalies – Wayne Hennessey, Danny Ward, and Adam Davies.

USMNT vs Wales Prediction

The Americans are favored by the bookies for a reason. As a team, they are stronger than Wales. What should worry them is that Wales has Bale who can win games on his own, as well as a pretty decent backline. That said, beating the Welsh isn’t going to be easy but we think the Yanks can pull it off.

Pick: United States to win


Qatar vs Ecuador 2022 World Cup Odds, Time, and Prediction

Qatar vs Ecuador 2022 World Cup Odds, Time, and Prediction

Qatar vs Ecuador is the 2022 World Cup opener. It might not be the most exciting matchup, but it’s the first game of the tournament, as well as the only World Cup game scheduled for Sunday, November 20.

This is going to be Qatar’s first World Cup game in history, but oddsmakers don’t see the hosts as the favorites. Instead, the odds are leaning (slightly) toward Ecuador. To see what we think is going to happen in the first game of the World Cup, just keep on reading.

Qatar vs Ecuador Odds

Match-Winner

Qatar +240
Draw +220
Ecuador +125

Goals Over/Under

Over 2.5 +150
Under 2.5 -189

*Odds taken from bet365 on Tuesday, November 15.

When, Where, and How to Watch?

  • Place: Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar
  • Date: Sunday, November 20, 2022
  • Time: 11:00 AM ET
  • How to Watch: FOX/Telemundo

Qatar’s World Cup Debut

Qatar is the only team that got to the 2022 World Cup without having to play the qualifications. Qatar booked its place in the tournament simply by hosting it. There’s a big question mark on whether they’d qualify for the tournament if they had to play the qualifiers.

The thing is that Qatar is one of the worst national teams in the world. All of their 2022 World Cup players play for the teams from their national league, the Qatar Stars League. If you haven’t heard of this competition, no one can blame you – it’s far from being an interesting league.

On the bright side for Qatar, the World Cup is played on their turf. With the help of their fans, they might be able to put on a decent performance, at least in the tournament opener. We, however, think that this is something that will depend only on how the Ecuadorians play on Sunday.

Ecuador Looks Like a Great Bet for the World Cup Opener

It’s really strange that bookies are giving +125 on Ecuador. We think the odds should be much shorter than that. Our reasoning? Ecuador’s roster is way superior to the one of Qatar.

Sure, there aren’t any superstars in Ecuador’s World Cup squad. However, this team seems like a good combination between experience and talent. The team captain is 33-year-old Enner Valencia, who’s currently playing for Fenerbahce.

Valencia, however, probably isn’t going to be Ecuador’s crucial player in Qatar. Instead, we think it’s going to be one of the three Brighton players – Moises Caicedo, Jeremy Sarmiento, or Pervis Estupinan.

We expect a lot from Caicedo, a 21-year-old midfield dynamo who’s playing fantastic soccer in 2022. He’s going to dominate the pitch on Sunday, ensuring that the ball stays in Ecuador’s possession for most of the game.

Qatar vs Ecuador Prediction

Ecuador will dominate the possession on Sunday, which makes us confident that Qatar will not score on Sunday. Add to this the fact that Gustavo Alfaro’s men haven’t conceded a single goal in their previous six games. That said, Ecuador to keep a clean sheet looks like a very good World Cup prop bet.

There’s one thing that worries us, though. Ecuador’s attackers don’t tend to score too many goals. In fact, they scored just six goals in 10 games they’ve played so far in 2022. Still, we do believe they can put (at least) one away against such a weak opponent as Qatar.

Picks: Ecuador to win; under 2.5 goals


ANJ Asks Customers to Bet Responsibly

ANJ Asks Customers to Bet Responsibly

L’Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ), France’s gambling regulator, has issued a warning about the dangers of gambling ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The top-tier soccer event starts in a week and will glue sports fans from all over the world to the screen.

“T’as vu, t’as perdu”

The authority’s new campaign goes under the “You saw, you lost” slogan, which bears the same name as a new promotional song released by the ANJ. Through this initiative, the regulator wants to remind people that gambling can always go wrong and therefore people should either gamble responsibly or not gamble at all.

The campaign follows a recent study by Harris Interactive, according to which more than 1/3 of the adults in the country plan to bet money during the World Cup 2022. The ANJ, therefore, wants to raise awareness and will actively remind people that wagering doesn’t guarantee a victory.

The “T’as vu, t’as perdu” campaign precedes what analysts believe will be a record season for sports betting in France. According to finance experts, the French betting handle during the World Cup may surpass the record of $450 million (current conversion rates) set in 2020. Ahead of such a promising sports season, it is crucial to remind people to bet responsibly.

Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, the president of the ANJ, said that this is the regulator’s first prevention campaign. She said that the regulator does not wish to antagonize the sports betting industry but rather protect the youth by teaching the young about how dangerous excessive gambling can be.

The ANJ wishes to ensure that sports betting continues to be a recreational activity instead of a source of harm and woes for sports enthusiasts in the country, Falque-Pierrotin concluded.

The Campaign Will Target Younger Sports Fans

The ANJ’s new campaign was developed by RosBeef, which is a marketing agency headquartered in Paris. RosBeef’s forte is marketing materials that target a younger audience. The regulator’s reason to pick this advertising agency in particular is the statistics that show that younger bettors are much more vulnerable to gambling harm.

As a result, “T’as vu, t’as perdu” will before anything else target young men under 35, who, according to previous surveys, tend to play irresponsibly.

Since the ANJ understands that this campaign may not be enough to prevent problem gambling, the authority also unveiled a new charter that includes standards for all operators during the World Cup in Qatar. Under the charter, betting companies must refrain from flooding the media with gambling ads and prompting problem gambling.

FIFA Globe Cup 2022 Group E Probabilities, Picks, as well as Props

FIFA Globe Cup 2022 Group E Probabilities, Picks, as well as Props

As Gary Lineker notoriously said, “soccer is a game where 22 men chase after a round for 90 minutes and also the Germans always win.” Oddsmakers don’t think Germany will certainly win this time. They’re offering chances much longer than +1000 on Hansi Flick’s children winning the 2022 Globe Cup. Really, they do not also assume they’re going to win Team E!

But what do we assume? Which of the adhering to four teams will finish top of the team table– Germany, Spain, Costa Rica, or Japan? Which of them will progress to the kos from the no. 2 position, and also which will pack their traveling bags after the team phase? To discover, just keep reviewing our Group E sneak peek!

FIFA Globe Cup 2022 Group E Winner Prediction– Germany (+100 )

Spain is seen as the favorite to win Group E. Bookies are giving -110 on this team to end up above every person else in the group. We, however, need to differ with bookies. We assume that Germany will certainly do better than Spain.

Things is that Germany has an outstanding squad in 2022, with young, sports gamers who have a lot of experience playing large video games.

Certain, they have not been playing vintage soccer lately– they have a 1-4-1 document in competitive games in 2022– however there’s a description for that.

The Germans took time to adjust to the ways of their (fairly) new boss, Hansi Flick. He organized the nationwide team in 2014 after leaving Bayern Munich, a group with which he won a sextuple. That makes him one of just 2 trains that have actually won six various titles in one season. Understanding this, you know that the Germans are led by an actual specialist in Qatar.

Team E Runner-Up Prediction– Spain (+150 )

Germany and Spain are the two groups from Team E that are progressing to the knockout stage of the 2022 Globe Mug– we have no uncertainties regarding it. The only uncertainty is in which order will certainly they go there.

Oddsmakers assume Spain will finish initially, yet we think it’s mosting likely to be Germany that wins Team E. In our viewpoint, Spain is most likely to finish in second area.

We think that both Germany and also Spain will win the games against the other 2 groups from Group E. What this indicates is that the group champion will be made a decision in Spain vs Germany video game on November 27. We don’t assume Spain will win that match.

Best Team E Prop Wager– Germany to Win 9 Points in Team E (+330 )

Germany Specific Group Points– 9 Factors is our top prop wager for Group E. We make certain the Germans will certainly destroy Japan in Round 1, along with Costa Rica in the third round. In Round 2, nonetheless, they’re mosting likely to have a really hard task against Spain.

Still, recognizing that Flick’s kids enjoy to bet large challengers, we believe they might win that video game too.

Djokovic Opting for the 6th Record-Tying ATP Finals Win

If Djokovic wins the 2022 ATP Finals, he will certainly link Roger Federer’s record of 6 success. We assume the opportunities of that happening are actually good, although that the Serbian super star is presently being in the no. 8 position in the ATP Positions.

The reason behind such a low placement is that Novak had to miss out on the Australian Open (for refusing to obtain vaxxed), while additionally winning no factors for his 2022 Wimbledon victory.

The bright side for him, nevertheless, is that he can include one more 1,500 ranking points to his tally by winning every match at the 2022 ATP Finals.

Daniil Medvedev vs Novak Djokovic Prediction

Novak Djokovic is using another level to Daniil Medvedev. That said, Novak would certainly be our choice even if his opponent was in an excellent run. But he isn’t. Actually, Medvedev has actually been far from impressive this year and also we don’t think he’s mosting likely to transform that at the 2022 ATP Finals.

Choices: Novak Djokovic to win in straight collections
