How To Bet On USA Soccer Odds vs. Panama
The first three (and most popular ways) to bet on USMNT games are to bet the spread, moneyline, or total goals. Each is explained below. Remember that soccer games can end in draws during group stages, hence the three-way line.
USMNT Copa America Tournament Predictions
The fourth way to bet on the USMNT is via futures. These are prediction bets on how far the Stars and Stripes will advance in Copa America:
- to advance out of Group C (finish first or second in the group)
- to win Group
- to reach final
- to win tournament
The USMNT is considered a fringe contender in Copa America odds. Argentina is the clear-cut favorite, especially after a more impressive opening match than what Brazil is putting together at the time of writing (0-0 at halftime against Costa Rica).
Group C favorites Uruguay are a bit ahead of the USMNT odds as well. Both teams enjoyed +2 margins in their openers, and it’s fair to say each team could have tallied several more goals as well. They clearly looked like the class of the group. Assuming both prevail in Matchday 2, they’ll play for the group’s top seed on July 1, but both are in great shape to advance as expected.
Game Props

USMNT Vs. Panama Preview
The Americans thoroughly dominated Bolivia. While xGoals weren’t terribly impressed (1.03), they created several strong chances on crosses but simply didn’t get the ball redirected toward net. They tallied 20 shots attempts and faced just six.
Panama is expected to provide slightly stiffer opposition. A U.S. win is merely around 70% implied probability rather than north of 80.
Panama did by the U.S. in the Gold Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw. However, that game came against a team that could be generously called the B-squad. GK Matt Turner is likely the only player from that team who will see time on Thursday.
The Panama squad actually did create some threatening opportunities against group favorites Uruguay. They wound up with a respectable 45% of the ball. However, the defense looked quite leaky at times, allowing numerous strong attacks to build up.
The question is whether the U.S. can improve its finishing. xGoals aside, they certainly had chances to tally 3+ against Bolivia. Look for Christian Pulisic & Co. to have plenty of chances here.
