Balogun Red Card Suspension Changes USA-Belgium Odds

FIFA's decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's red card from the USA's win over Bosnia has transformed the betting landscape for Monday's Round of 16 match against Belgium. The striker is now a co-favorite at +525 to score the first goal and +145 for an anytime goal, right behind Belgium's Romelu Lukaku. The USA has become the slight favorite in the match odds, with 72% of tickets and 79% of money backing the Americans. 'From a customer perspective, it's tremendous news,' said Caesars Sports VP Craig Mucklow. 'But for sportsbooks, it's a little headache. We built our prices based on the USA's top goalscorer not playing.' capturengo.com
