USMNT vs. Guinea prediction, odds, time: 2024 Paris Olympics picks, Men’s Soccer bets by proven expert
Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on July 29, 2024
The United States Men’s National Team look to advance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but first they must get past Guinea in a group stage match on Tuesday. The U.S. kicked off the Summer Games with a disappointing 3-0 loss to France, but rebounded in Matchday 2 with a 4-1 win against New Zealand to place them second in Group A. Meanwhile, Guinea are at the bottom of the group with two losses although they haven’t played poorly, falling 2-1 to New Zealand to start and then 1-0 to France.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET. The Americans are -215 favorites (risk $215 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest USMNT vs. Guinea odds, while Guinea are +500 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +310 and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5.

Why you should back USMNT
The Americans have the momentum going into this match, and Green says they should be “full of confidence” in this matchup, though they’ll need to avoid overlooking the winless Guinea squad.
The U.S. doesn’t have big-name players on this Olympics roster since stars like Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie played in the Copa America and these rosters are all U-23 with only three exceptions. However, younger players showed up in Paris to secure the 4-1 win against the Kiwis. There is some concern since Gianluca Busio limped off the field in the first half, but the expert still thinks the USMNT will ride that morale-boosting victory into Tuesday’s match.

Why you should back Guinea
Green cautions that USMNT doesn’t have this match in the bag, since Guinea are a more talented team than their Summer Olympics record entails. Kaba Diawara’s team is highlighted by former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keïta and has played well defensively despite dropping two straight matches.
Guinea and France were scoreless in Matchday 2 before French defender Kiliann Sildillia scored in the 76th minute. If the U.S. gets complacent in Tuesday’s match, Guinea could use their defense to lock this game down. See which team to pick here.
