Its Belgium v USA from the World Cup with latest odds, free bets and live stream news from Tuesday.

A much fancied Belgium side take on the United States in the final second round clash later tonight.

The 10 men of Belgium beat South Korea to qualify from Group H in first position, with Jan Vertonghen scoring a late winner.

Stefan Defour was sent off for an over the top tackle in the first period; however Belgium overcame their adversity to edge home.

Belgium won all three group games by the odd goal and without playing at their best, qualified relatively comfortably.

United States lost 1-0 to Germany in their final group match, however they still qualified, second behind the Germans.

A win for Jurgen Klinsmann’s side would have been enough to top the group, but Thomas Muller’s second half winner separated the sides.

USA’s late victory over Ghana was the key result behind their qualification, meaning for a second consecutive World Cup they got out of the group.

Belgium have won the last four meetings between the two nations, including a 4-2 victory as recently as last summer.
