Why you should back USMNT

The expert wasn't completely dismayed by the U.S.'s effort in their opening match against France, noting that "they created lots of chances, but they just lacked the finishing touch." They then made up for it on Matchday 2 when they went up 2-0 within the first 12 minutes of play en route to a 4-1 victory.

The Americans could be without midfielder Gianluca Busio, who scored in the first half against New Zealand but also left with an injury. Green thinks his absence could hurt the USMNT, but still ultimately thinks they can carry momentum into Tuesday's match. See which team to pick here .

Why you should back Guinea

Green cautions that USMNT doesn't have this match in the bag, since Guinea are a more talented team than their Summer Olympics record entails. Kaba Diawara's team is highlighted by former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keïta and has played well defensively despite dropping two straight matches.

Guinea and France were scoreless in Matchday 2 before French defender Kiliann Sildillia scored in the 76th minute. If the U.S. gets complacent in Tuesday's match, Guinea could use their defense to lock this game down. See which team to pick here .
