Get $200 instantly in Bonus Bets with DraftKings ahead of USA vs Belgium

The USMNT face Belgium at Lumen Field in Seattle without leading scorer Folarin Balogun, controversially red-carded in their 2-0 win over Bosnia. Meanwhile, the Red Devils staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in World Cup history to edge Senegal 3-2 in extra time.

As the Stars and Stripes look to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2002, you can back the USMNT – or Belgium – at DraftKings. If you haven’t created an account yet, you can do so ahead of Monday’s game and score $200 in Bonus Bets as soon as you place your first $5 wager. The offer is available to anyone in Arizona, or any other state in which the sportsbook operates – check their site for a full list!

The USMNT did it the hard way against Bosnia. Balogun put the US 1-0 up just before halftime with his third goal of the tournament – matching Landon Donovan for second-most USMNT goals in a single World Cup – only to be controversially sent off at the 64th minute following a VAR review that left teammates furious. 

Playing the final minutes with ten men and with Bosnia creating three shots on goal, it took a stunning Malik Tillman free kick at the 82nd minute – earning him Man of the Match – and three crucial saves from goalkeeper Matt Freese to seal a 2-0 win. Balogun’s automatic one-game suspension means Mauricio Pochettino must now find a new striker, with Ricardo Pepi and Haji Wright the most likely options.

Belgium’s comeback against Senegal was the moment of the tournament so far. The Red Devils trailed 2-0 with four minutes left in normal time before scoring at the 86th and 89th minutes, then adding a winner deep in extra time to win 3-2 – a result that will go down in World Cup folklore. 

Leandro Trossard has been Belgium’s standout performer throughout, with two goals and two assists across four appearances at an average rating of 8.25. Romelu Lukaku has chipped in with two goals from the bench, and Kevin De Bruyne’s creativity from midfield remains a constant threat.

Can the USMNT step up without Balogun against Belgium’s Red Devils?

Losing your leading scorer to suspension is about as tough a blow as you can take in the knockout rounds – but the USMNT showed against Bosnia they can handle adversity. The home crowd at Lumen Field will be loud and behind them from the first whistle, Christian Pulisic offers real quality from the right, and Pepi or Wright will be motivated to fill Balogun’s shoes.

Belgium, though, have momentum and character in abundance – any team that comes back from 2-0 down with four minutes to play is not one to underestimate.

Trossard’s form has been extraordinary and De Bruyne’s creativity through the middle remains a constant threat. But without a crowd behind them and with the USMNT’s defensive organisation – which kept a clean sheet against Bosnia with ten men – Belgium may find this harder than their Senegal recovery suggests.

• USA to qualify
• Leandro Trossard to score anytime

Trossard has two goals and two assists in this tournament and is comfortably the Red Devils’ most dangerous player. Even without Balogun, this should be an open and entertaining contest – and the USMNT’s home advantage could be the deciding factor.
