The U.S. men's soccer team is the overwhelming favorite to win against Guinea in Tuesday's men's soccer match at the 2024 Summer Olympics, according to sportsbook odds.
The U.S. staged a dramatic comeback in their second game of the Paris tournament. After a 3-0 opening loss to hosts France, the Americans used a dominant offensive force to beat New Zealand 4-1, scoring a penalty kick goal eight minutes into the game and adding two more in the first half to put the result beyond doubt.
Guinea played bravely against France after a 1–2 loss to New Zealand in their opening match, holding France scoreless for 75 minutes before the hosts scored the only goal to win the match 1–0.

Bet365 USA vs Guinea odds: 2024 Olympic men's soccer moneyline, spread and totals
Betting odds for the men's Olympic soccer group stage match between USA and Guinea at Bet365 are as follows:
| BetRivers Sportsbook | Money Line | Spread the word | total |
| united states of america | -209 | -1 +125 | 2.5 over -175 |

Guinea has a chance to advance to the finals with a win, but they would need to beat the United States by at least two points — a tall order for a team that only scored one point in the entire tournament — and the U.S. could advance to the finals with a win. and If New Zealand draws or loses to France, if the U.S. and New Zealand both win, the game will be decided by goal differential, so the U.S. will need to stay active on offense.
US Gambling News and Analysis
After a lackluster performance against France, the USA came out red hot against New Zealand, scoring four goals from four different players: Djordje Mihajlovic (8th minute, penalty), Walker Zimmerman (12th minute), Gianluca Busio (30th minute) and Paxton Aaronson (58th minute). The USA team was scoreless against France, but this early goal took some of the pressure off the team.
The defense was strong, but after a few substitutions shifted the dynamics of the backline, they conceded a goal late in the game that could have an impact on goal difference and is something the U.S. needs to avoid doing against Guinea.
The lone goal wasn't the fault of goalkeeper Patrick Schulte, who made three saves in the game and will be hoping to keep his first clean sheet of the tournament against Guinea and help the U.S. advance to the knockout stages.

Guinea betting news and analysis
Following their disappointing loss to New Zealand, many expected Guinea to suffer a heavy defeat against France, but they showed some excellent defence and some strong goalkeeping play to stop four shots.
What can Guinea do to advance? Well, it's tough, but not impossible. Guinea needs to beat the USA by at least two goals and France need to beat New Zealand.
Guinea has only scored one goal in the entire tournament, so doubling that total won't be easy. If there's anyone who can contribute, it's Amadou Diawara, one of Guinea's three recognised players over the age of 23. He scored the team's only goal at this Olympics and is one of the few players who is always dangerous with the ball at his feet. In Guinea's first two games, he had some shots on goal and made some great passes to put teammates in scoring position, but he couldn't score.

USA vs Guinea ATS Prediction
The U.S. will be looking to shake off their poor showing against France and reach the knockout stages. The U.S. has the more talented team, but Guinea's defense is solid. The U.S. needs to score early, as they did against New Zealand, and if they can get a lead by halftime they should be able to comfortably win and secure a spot in the knockout stages.
