USA vs Portugal Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by in World Cup Predictions
After enduring torture at the hands of a "Mannschaft" that was far too strong collectively (4-0), Portugal must start from scratch against the United States. But this initial drubbing has given Ronaldo and his team mates precious little room for manoeuvre, as they must now win their last two matches to have a good chance of qualifying for the last 16. It should be said that after beating Ghana (2-1), Jürgen Klinsmann's men would be happy to settle for a point against the Portuguese, before going into a damage-limitation exercise against the Germans, in order to have a chance of qualifying on goal-average... Under pressure, will the Portuguese "Selecçao" behave like a great footballing nation?

USA - Portugal Key Points
- The United States suffered a major blow with the loss through injury of their striker Jozy Altidore - a real tower of strength and an essential part of this team.
- The USA beat Ghana (2-1) with only 40% of the possession and without offering much in the way of creative football, especially in the second half.
- The Portuguese had lost to Germany in their first match of the Euro 2012 tournament, before marking up two successive wins (against Denmark and the Netherlands). Ronaldo and his team mates have no shortage of pride and will go into this match with a raging appetite.
- Portugal have no choice - they must win to be in with a good chance of making it through to the last 16 but they have a much more talented squad than the Americans…
