Moneyline pick: Netherlands +360

Netherlands come into this match with their eye on the final for the second consecutive tournament. The Dutch side made it all the way to the final in 2019 but lost to the USWNT by a 2-0 score. Now with the Americans out of the way thanks to Sweden, the Netherlands will hope to pull off an upset over Spain and inch closer to the final again.

Spain are coming off a huge 5-1 win over Switzerland in the round of 16 as Aitana Bonmati scored a brace, bringing her tournament total to three goals. It’s the second time they’ve dropped five goals in a match in this World Cup. However, they were obliterated by Japan in their final match of the group stage by a 4-0 final score.

The winner of this match will advance to the semifinal to face the winner of Japan and Sweden, either of which would pose a massive threat on the path to the final. Even without Danielle van de Donk (yellow card suspension), I’m backing Netherlands to take the game to Spain and pull off an upset as they look to make another deep run.
