The analysis

USA play at SoFi Stadium in front of an enormous home crowd. Paraguay last appeared at a World Cup in 2010. The Americans possess a talented young generation: Pulisic, Weah, Reyna, McKennie — all in their prime. Home advantage plus quality should see the Stars and Stripes win comfortably.

The young US core — Pulisic, Weah, Reyna, McKennie — has the legs to run a transition-shy Paraguay side ragged across 90 minutes, and home advantage at SoFi shortens the odds further.

The 4-1 went beyond the 2-0 call: USA's quality told emphatically while Paraguay's only reply confirmed the BTTS-No miss. The direction of the pick was right; the margin simply ran past the predicted score.
