A good way to bet on a favorite and make good money is to place a bet on the correct score. The USMNT has beaten CONCACAF opposition 6-2 (Panama), and 6-0 against El Salvador, so picking a USA win at 4-0 at +2500 would be a risky but at the same time a reasonable bet.
Betting on the over 3.5 goals for this contest looks like a safe bet at +230 since the USMNT has scored a lot of goals against CONCACAF opposition and the opposing team might score as well, as was the case against Panama.

The US has scored a lot and often against CONCACAF teams and a good betting option would be wagering that the USMNT will score in both halves of the game. At +290 it’s a good option since the US usually scores in both halves against CONCACAF teams in friendly matches.
