The U.S. Men's National Team are underdogs in their upcoming World Cup match against England. 

The U.S. is coming off a disappointing draw to Wales, while England dominated Iran in a 6-2 win earlier this week.

Shortly before Friday’s kickoff, the Americans were a +600 underdog, while England remained heavily favored with -195 odds to win at the Caesars Sportsbook.

The odds are better for the U.S. ending the match in a draw with +310 odds. Much of the money that has been wagered on the match’s outright winner as been on England, not the U.S. 

However, sportsbooks expect a fair amount of activity up to kickoff.
