The reigning world champions will be looking to continue their dominant run of form when they take to the field for the second time Down Under in the early hour of Thursday morning. The USA will be looking for a second straight win as they clash with the Netherlands in a rematch of the 2019 World Cup final.
Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview
The USA will be back in action on Thursday morning, as they look to land a second straight victory, which would secure their passage through to the knockout stage. America didn’t break a sweat in their opening match in Group E, as they cruised to a straightforward 3-0 win over Vietnam. Sophia Smith was the star in their opening match, as the winger scored twice in the opening 45 minutes.
The scoring in their opening win was completed with just 13 minutes remaining, as Lindsey Horan netted the third goal. The U.S. has a dominant record against European nations at the World Cup, as they have won seven of their last eight. Meanwhile, they have won each of their previous 13 matches at the competition, scoring an incredible 40 goals in the process.
It’s likely that the Netherlands will see progression through to the knockout round as a solid performance at the World Cup this summer. They effectively have one foot in the next round after landing a 1-0 win over Portugal in their opening match in Group E. Their winning goal was scored after just 13 minutes by Stefanie Van der Gragt.
This will be fourth time that the Netherlands have claimed with a nation from the CONCACAF region at the World Cup. However, their only win in three matches was a 2-1 success over Canada in the previous edition of the World Cup.
USA vs Netherlands Head to Head
This will be the second clash between the nations at the World Cup. The only previous encounter came in the final of the 2019 tournament, with the USA landing a 2-0 win. That defeat means that the Dutch are now winless in their last nine against the USA.
USA vs Netherlands Prediction
The USA were very professional in their opening match at the World Cup, and that would have been a daunting prospect for every other team in the competition. We expect them to have few issues in registering a second straight win, and a repeat 3-0 win could be likely.
