International Friendly Best Bets - September 30

The USA looked good in their opening match of the international break as they cruised past Peru in a simple 4-1 win. Despite seeing their early goal cancelled out after 15 minutes, the USA made the most of their pressure in the second-half with three goals that killed the match off as a contest. This win helped the nation to bounce back from their 4-1 loss to Belgium back in July, with this seeing them knocked out of their own World Cup long before things got truly serious. With the side hoping to build towards future competitions, this match is a great chance to end a run of three without a win against Chile, and I back them to do precisely that despite conceding. 

Mexico battled to a 1-1 draw with Colombia in their last game as they returned to the field for the first time since their stunning 3-2 loss to England at the 2026 World Cup. This defeat ended a run of seven consecutive victories, with their next two failing to result in a victory. Despite this, Mexico are looking to extend a run of three without defeat against Peru, with this including a 1-0 win when the pair last met back in 2022. Each of their last four meetings have resulted in two goals or less being scored, and I predict a low-scoring match once again.
