Best Prop Bets for USA vs Netherlands World Cup Match

• FIFA World Cup betting odds indicate that the match between the United States and the Netherlands is likely to be low scoring.
• Based on their performances in the Group Stage, betting on at least one first-half goal is likely a safe bet for the match.
• Bets on the United States to score a first-half goal are particularly appealing based on their two first-half goals so far and the +205 odds players get at Bovada.

AL RAYYAN, Qatar – The United States Men’s National Team is a large underdog against the Netherlands on Saturday morning, with Bovada’s odds on the match suggesting it may be a rather low scoring.

United States vs Netherlands World Cup Odds

Team:	Spread:	Moneyline:	Total:

Legal soccer sportsbooks set a fair game total that may be difficult to handicap, but one obvious advantage bettors can score with is the first-half prop betting odds.

Betting on the First Half Over

The first half total for goals at Bovada may have the most value, with the sportsbook offering many different totals to choose from.

USA vs Netherlands First Half Total

• 0.5 Goals – Over: -175; Under: +143
• 1.0 Goals – Over: +130; Under: -157
• 1.0, 1.5 Goals – Over: +190; Under -235
• 1.5 Goals – Over: +250; Under: -310

The two squads have scored at least one goal in the first half in four of their combined six World Cup matches thus far.

That means it is very likely that at least one goal is scored, with the over 1.0 goals presenting an attractive option because of the strong chance it either goes over or results in a push.

For players at legal sportsbooks looking for less risk, the best bet may simply be on the United States to score a first-half goal.

Betting on the United States to Score in the First Half

The United States has scored two first-half goals so far during the World Cup while scoring zero in the second.

On the defensive end, they have allowed one goal overall and that was on a penalty kick in the 82′ minute against Whales.

Combining those two thoughts, the United States has been a first-half team that is likely to score before halftime.

Getting plus odds based on that thought may pay out large Saturday Morning.

United States First-Half Goal Odds

• 0.5 Goals – Over: +205; Under: -255
• 1.5 Goals – Over: +1100; Under: -850
• 2.5 Goals – Over: +2000; Under: -25000

The United States has a first-half goal in two of three matches thus far, yet players at Bovada still receive long +205 odds for that to happen again on Saturday.

Taking the US over at least the 0.5 first-half goal mark is likely the best bet for the game.

To make that bet even more enticing, it is worth noting that Christian Pulisic is expected to suit up for the match after exiting the US’s last match against Iran.

Pulisic has been given +1000 odds to be the first goal scorer of the match.
