USA - Belgium (Saturday 19:30 GMT)
Preview:
Since losing the first-ever H2H during the 1930 World Cup, Belgium have won all five meetings between the two nations since, including their only clash on US soil to date back in 2013. Ranked #15 in the world by FIFA, the USA didn’t have to go through qualification to reach this summer’s World Cup alongside fellow co-hosts Canada and Mexico. Instead, since their Gold Cup final defeat to Mexico last July, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have filled each international break with friendlies on home soil against nations from various continents. The Stars and Stripes are unbeaten in the last five of those warm-up games and have won each of the most recent three, which certainly bodes well here, where they look to protect an unbeaten record in the state of Georgia, which spans 58 years.
Belgium has enjoyed a remarkable run since Rudi Garcia took charge in January 2025, inheriting a side at risk of UEFA Nations League relegation. Losing the first leg of their UNL play-off tie against Ukraine, that defeat remains his only loss in the Red Devils’ hotseat, with Belgium turning things around in the second leg before going on to score the second-most goals of any nation involved in European World Cup qualification. Now bidding to defend their nine-game unbeaten run, Belgium’s six-match unbeaten run in international friendlies certainly hints that they can keep their momentum going ahead of the summer’s finals.
