This is the first game of the tournament for both teams. I did a preview for the United States earlier today. The United states are defending champions. They won back to back FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2015 and 2019. They have not lost an official game yet in 2023 going 8-0-0 leading up to this tournament. They beat Wales 2-0 in their last match back on July 9th. This is Vietnams first FIFA Women’s World Cup. This will be their first game in the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Vietnam are 0-2 so far in 2023. In their last match they lost 2-0 to New Zealand. The United States have never played Vietnam. This will be their first meeting ever. The United States has a 98.7% chance of winning this match.

The United States has 19 goals in 8 games in 2023. That is 2.37 goals per game. The United States has allowed 1 goals in 8 games in 2023. That is 0.12 goals against per game. The United States not have been shutout yet in 2023. The United States has had seven games where they did not allow their opponents to score in 2023. They have been dominating so far this year.

Vietnam scored 1 goals in 2 games in 2023. That is 0.5 goals per game. Vietnam has allowed 4 goals in those 2 games. That is 2 goals against per game. Vietnam did lose one of those games in a shutout.

Vietnam	2	0	2	0	1	4	-1	0

The United States still has has some of their core team from the last two world cups. That includes their goalie and top scorer. The United States is probably going to dominate this game. Vietnam has nothing coming into this tournament. This is their first world cup. They are going to struggle to play competitively. The United States has dominated much higher ranking teams than Vietnam. The defense of the united states has been insane so far this year. I think that will continue in this tournament. I just don’t see Vietnam being able to do anything to keep the ball out of their end of the field.

Prediction: 6-0 USA win
