Ghana v USA Betting Tips and Predictions

Group G's underdogs Ghana and USA face off in what is a must win match for both teams and we have some free 2014 World Cup betting tips.

Given that the other teams in group G are Germany and Portugal both Ghana and USA know that three points in the first match would be invaluable.

A win here and the next two games suddenly no longer look so daunting. Lose or draw and suddenly the matches against Germany and Portugal are the footballing equivalent of crossing a crocodile infested river with stones and raw meat bursting out of your pockets.

Going into this huge match then form will be crucial. In their last friendly match Ghana thrashed South Korea 4-0. Ex-Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan grabbed one and Jordan Ayew smashed a hat-trick in what was a pacey and threatening attack.

The USA meanwhile wrapped up their World Cup preparations with a 2-1 victory over Nigeria in which Jozy Altidore bagged a brace.

So both teams go into the game with a win under their belts. What do the bookies think though?

A Ghana win is available at 13/8 with bet365. The USA victory is 21/10 with betvictor and a draw is 21/10 with coral.

Going off the likely lineups a Ghana side containing the likes of Kevin Prince-Boateng, Kwadwo Asamoah and Emmanuel Agyemang should have too much for the USA. Ghana to win looks like great value.

Whilst I've said I see Ghana winning but I don't see them keeping a cleansheet. The Black Star's goalkeeper Fatau Dauda looks all over the place whenever a ball is crossed into the box he sounds the panic stations and well begins panicking. Both teams to score and Ghana to win is available at 11/2 with bet365.

The goalscorer market also offers plenty of value. After bagging a hat-trick in the friendly against South Korea Jordan Ayew is obviously in form and should earn a spot in the starting line-up. Jordan Ayew to score anytime is 10/3 with bet365.

If you fancy a bit more risk for even better return though Jordan Ayew to score and Ghana to win is available at 6/1 with Betfred.

A bet that looks really good though is the anytime goalscorers market for the USA. Given Ghanian goalkeeper Fatau Dauda's difficulty in defending crosses the USA will be targeting set-pieces as great goalscoring opportunities.

Stoke defender Geoff Cameron will be shifting inside from full back to centre back and therefore is a prime candidate to go forward at set-pieces. At 6'3'' tall he will also be one of the tallest players on the pitch. He's available to score anytime at 12/1 with Bet365.
