The USA is most sportsbooks’ favorite to win the 2023 Women’s World Cup and for good reason. Four-time tournament winners, the world’s number one-ranked team have not lost a World Cup game since the 2011 final to Japan. Even then, they only lost in a shootout.

In their group opener on Friday, they cruised to a 3-0 victory over World Cup debutants Vietnam, barely breaking a sweat. They are likely to face a much sterner test against the ninth-ranked Netherlands, as the difference in quality between the USA’s first and second opponents is enormous.

These two teams know each other pretty well, having met in the final of the last Women’s World Cup in 2019 when the USA won 2-0 to claim their fourth World Cup title. Two years later, at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the US was again victorious, beating the Dutch on penalties in the quarter-finals.

This time they face off in the group stage. Though less may be at stake than during their meeting four years ago, most observers will have earmarked this game as the battle for the top spot in Group E.

It’s a testament to how imposing the USA are that even against the 2019 runners-up, they are clearly favored to win, listed at -143 compared to the Netherlands’ +450.

However, the Dutch are by far the highest-quality opponents the Americans will face in Group E, boasting their own array of stars to match the likes of Alex Morgan, Sophia Smith, Megan Rapinoe, and Lindsay Horan.

Led by Jill Roord, Daniëlle van der Donk, Jackie Groenen, Lieke Martens, and Lineth Beerensteyn, the Netherlands will likely push the seasoned perennial champions to the limit in Wellington, New Zealand. They’re a strong threat from set pieces, too, so don’t be surprised if this is where the USA concede their first goal since February.

But the USA have so much quality in all areas that it’s still hard to look past them, particularly in attack.

Morgan is yet to get off the mark at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, mostly due to having a penalty saved in the Vietnam game, but it’s not likely to take her too much longer; she’s scored 121 goals for her country and was the National Women’s Soccer League’s top goalscorer last season.

Bet365 has her listed at a boosted price of +350 to be the game’s first scorer, up from +333, and it’s good value for a player of her scoring prowess who will be looking for personal vindication after missing from the spot.

Meanwhile, her fellow attacker Smith is one of the most in-form players in world soccer right now and scored twice in the win over Vietnam, assisting the other goal. Smith is available as the first goalscorer at +375, which is appealing given her form.

The Americans had 28 shots against a far-inferior Vietnam side. While they’re unlikely to have as much free rein against the Dutch, they will have plenty of looks at goal.

Bet365′s boosted same-game parlay of Morgan and Smith, each notching at least two shots on target in a USA win is an appealing +600.
