Possible U.S. opponents in Qatar 2022 hype 1

The United States has a 62.5% chance of meeting a European team in the first round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, a fairly high probability in a fortuitous game such as a draw.

The remaining 25% corresponds to the probability that the opponents will be South American: Argentina and Brazil. It only has a 12.5% probability of facing Qatar. 

Let's review in this odds report, the chances that the United States has against each of the seeded teams in the World Cup draw. 

United States vs Qatar 

If the opponent were Qatar, the Americans would have great odds to be victorious. They have to bet on a high-scoring, open game to beat the event hosts in this potential World Cup opener should the U.S. make the group.

United States vs Belgium  

Belgium and its offensive power represent a problem for the United States, having very low odds to beat the United States. 

A good strategy would be to focus on a 0 or 1 goal draw.  

United States vs Brazil 

The green and the yellow team would be too much for the United States. It has no chance of being able to win this match. It is another match where you have to bet on a draw.

United States vs France 

France is another almost impossible opponent for the United States. It has very low odds to win against the Europeans. 

United States vs Argentina

The Albiceleste team has everything to be the winner and defeat the United States in a possible crossover in the group stage. The Americans' chances are focused on trying to get a draw. 

United States vs England

The U.S. has very little chance with England in getting a win. If there is a hope of getting a 0-0 draw. 

United States vs Spain 

Spain is a superior country in soccer terms. History demands so with the US odds being reduced to a hopeful draw. 

 United States vs Portugal

Although Cristiano Ronaldo would pose a threat to the United States, Portugal is the weakest European according to the statistics with the Americans have a chance to get their first win with an odds of 23.87%. 

Which opponents do the odds predict for the U.S.? 

The best scenario for the United States: face Qatar or Portugal.

The worst scenario for the U.S.: is facing Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Spain, England, and France.
