USMNT vs. Panama odds, picks, predictions: Best bets for Saturday's international friendly from soccer expert

This is the first meeting between these teams since the Copa America in June, when Folarin Balogun scored the USMNT's lone goal in a 2-1 loss. Saturday's match is expected to have a different feel to it as Mauricio Pochettino makes his debut as the USA's new manager.
Kickoff at Q2 Stadium in Austin, TX is set for 9 p.m. ET. The Americans are -195 favorites (risk $195 to win $100) in the latest USMNT vs. Panama odds, while the Panamanians are +490 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +285 and the over/under for goals is 2.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here).
Before you lock in your USMNT vs. Panama picks or predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say.
Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than six years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
Sutton was SportsLine's top soccer expert in 2022 with a 165-130-2 mark with his soccer picks, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He was also profitable across multiple leagues in 2023, including the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Europa League and more..Â
The expert knows the United States wants revenge after being beaten by Panama over the summer. Christian Pulisic and company have gone 0-1-2 across all competition since that match and want to make a good impression on their new manager. They could get off to a slow start as they get acclimated to Pochettino's playbook, but will push hard for a win to boost their confidence ahead of a match against Mexico next weekend.
Sutton also knows that the Panamanians are looking to get back to their scoring ways. After finding the back of the net in five of six matches across all competition, they were clean-sheeted 5-0 by Colombia in the Copa America quarterfinals. Jose Fajardo found the back of the net in consecutive matches leading up to that shutout and should be eager to help his team get on the scoresheet.
For Saturday, Sutton has taken an in-depth look at the USMNT vs. Panama matchup. He has released a confident best bet and is offering a full breakdown of this international friendly match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.Â
