Balogun's Return Shakes USA-Belgium Odds

With Balogun cleared to play, he's now a +525 co-favorite alongside Belgium's Romelu Lukaku to score first, and sits at +145 for anytime goals (just behind Lukaku's +144). The USA has also become a slight favorite in the three-way moneyline market at +155, compared to Belgium at +159.

Public betting heavily favors the US, with 72% of tickets and 79% of money backing the Americans to advance. "From a customer perspective, it's tremendous news," said Caesars Sports VP Craig Mucklow, noting that bookmakers "built our prices and traded based on the USA's top goalscorer not playing." esporist.com
