The final match in Group E takes place on Tuesday, as the United States still facing a challenge to secure their place in the next round. Portugal could spring a massive surprise if they are able to claim victory over the two-time reigning champions.
The pressure will be on the United States on Tuesday, as they need a positive result to make it through Group E. The reigning world champions currently sit top of the standings, but they are just a point clear of Portugal, and level on points with the Netherlands. USA were disappointed in their previous match, as they could only recover to draw 1-1 against the Dutch.
A victory will see them progress as winners, while a draw will also be enough to book their place in the next round, but it would give the Netherlands an opportunity to move to the top of the standings. Lindsey Horan has been the standout American player over their opening two matches, as she has scored twice.
However, Portugal will have their sights set on making history on Tuesday, as a victory over the United States would see them reach the round of 16 for the first time. Portugal kept their hopes alive on matchday two, as the European nation recorded a 2-0 win over Vietnam. Bit, this remains a huge challenge in Auckland.
Portugal could make history on Tuesday, as they will be bidding to become the first European debutant to win multiple games at the World Cup since Russia in 1999. Meanwhile, they will also be looking to become the first European nation to beat the reigning champions at the Women’s World Cup.
This will be the first time that the United States and Portugal have clashed at the Women’s World Cup. It will also be the first time that the European nation has come up against a country from the CONCACAF region at the tournament.
The USA are yet to reach their peak level of performance at the World Cup, but they will still feel confident as they sit top of the group standings. Bigger challenges will await the United States when the knockout stage gets underway, and we expect them to build momentum on matchday three in Group E by landing a 3-0 win over Portugal.
