USA vs. Netherlands Picks, Predictions & Women's World Cup Odds

Despite winning 3-0 in their opener, Team USAdidn’t reach expectations against Vietnam. Read on for our best USA vs. Netherlands picksbased on the Women's World Cup odds from our best WorldCup betting sites.

Megan Rapinoe squandered a chance against Vietnam she won’t want to see again, while Alex Morgan fluffed her lines from the penalty spot. Next up for the reigning world champions is a rematch with the team they beat in the 2019 World Cup final.

The United States have gotten the better of the Netherlands of late with wins in four straight clashes dating to September2016 — outscoring the Dutch side 9-3 during their winningstreak. Those victories include the 2-0 win in the 2019 final, while their most recent win came at the Tokyo Olympics when they won 4-2 on penalties,following a 2-2 draw in the quarterfinals. Dutch superstar Vivianne Miedemascored twice in that matchup.

Without Miedema in their squad, the Netherlands still possess enough offensive weapons to help the Americans fly past the game's betting total from our best soccer betting sites.

The United States have scored in 11 straightgames in all competitions, and have won each of their lastsix matches — scoring 11 times in thatperiod. Most of their goals (six) came inthe first half, as they've been making sure to turn on the gas out of the gate.

Meanwhile, the Dutch side have won four games and lost two intheir last six, netting 15 goals and conceding four in that span.

The Netherlands might be without Arsenalsuperstar Vivianne Miedema, but they still pose a threat in attack. Stefanievan der Gragt became just the second Dutch player to score at two differenteditions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup (also Lieke Martens in 2015 & 2019),while she’s also netted at least once at each of their last three majortournaments (World Cup/Euros).

Goalsfor the USA appear inevitable at this point, and the Dutch have enough firepower to help take this play over the line.
