The Americans are the favorites in this one, but not by much as they face off against the No. 9 ranked Netherlands. It’ll be a wildly different matchup than their group stage opener where they cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over tournament debutants Vietnam.
The Netherlands last met up against the USWNT in the Olympics on July 30, 2021 as the two sides played to a 2-2 draw in their quarterfinal matchup. The Americans went on to win 4-2 in a penalty shootout, staying undefeated against the Orange Lionesses through their last nine meetings. The most notable matchup came in the 2019 women’s World Cup when they faced off against each other in the final. Second-half goals from Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle secured the 2-0 win and the Americans’ fourth World Cup trophy.
The USWNT will look to take all three points again as they’re riding some great momentum from their group stage opener. Sophia Smith notched two goals and an assist against Vietnam and will hope for a similar performance against the Dutch side. Take the Americans to bag the win and move closer to clinching a spot in the round of 16.
