Balogun's Return Shakes World Cup Odds

FIFA's decision to suspend the red card issued to U.S. star Folarin Balogun has significantly impacted betting odds for Monday's Round of 16 match against Belgium. Bookmakers have been forced to make rapid adjustments after Balogun was cleared to play, with the U.S. now a slim favorite in match odds. Balogun is now co-favorite (+525) to score the first goal with Belgium's Romelu Lukaku, and also sits at +145 for anytime goals, just behind Lukaku's +144.

The public betting continues to favor the U.S. team, with Caesars Sports reporting that 72% of tickets and 79% of money are backing the Americans to win. The three-way moneyline has shifted to USA +155/Belgium +159/Draw +235, reflecting the impact of Balogun's return to the lineup. sweetbonanza-app.com
