The Netherlands will play their final match in Group E on Tuesday, as they chase a victory over Vietnam that could see them finish top of the standings. Vietnam has already been eliminated from the competition, but they will be hoping to end their campaign with a solid performance.
Women’s World Cup 2023 Preview
The Netherlands could cause a huge shock in Group E, as a big victory on matchday three could see them top the standings above the United States. Holland was excellent in their second outing at the competition, as they landed a 1-1 draw against the reigning champions. In truth, they were slightly unfortunate not to gain maximum points in that opening match, as the United States scored an equaliser with just over 25 minutes remaining.
The Netherlands have an excellent recent record at the Women’s World Cup, as they have won seven of their last nine matches. Their only dropped results in the competition have both come against the United States, which includes their final defeat in 2019. But, the Netherlands are unbeaten on matchday three at the Women’s World Cup, having won once and drawn once in their two showings.
Vietnam’s journey at the Women’s World Cup has already come to an end after defeats against Portugal and the United States. They will be looking to avoid making unwanted history on Tuesday, as they could become just the second Asian team to exit the competition without scoring a single goal.
Vietnam more than played their part on matchday two, as they made Portugal work hard to secure a 2-0 win. However, they clearly lack the quality in the final third of the field to truly test the top teams at the Women’s World Cup this year, which doesn’t bode well for their chances against the Netherlands.
Vietnam vs Netherlands Head to Head
This will be the first time that the nations have clashed at the Women’s World Cup. The Dutch landed a 2-1 win in their previous match against an Asian nation at the World Cup, with that victory coming against Japan in 2019.
Vietnam vs Netherlands Prediction
The Netherlands have been excellent across their opening two matches at the tournament, and it looks incredibly challenging to overlook them landing success on Tuesday. Therefore, we expect the Dutch to register a 4-0 win over Vietnam in Dunedin.
