USA begin their 2026 World Cup campaign in the early hours of tomorrow morning (BST) when Mauricio Pochettino’s side take on Paraguay in Los Angeles.
The hosts are expected to make a winning start, with USA priced at 21/20 to claim all three points. Paraguay, meanwhile, are 14/5 outsiders to cause an upset, while the draw is available at 11/5.
