This match has a lot of weight to it. It is the rematch of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 final. Both teams will be looking to prove they are the best in this match. The Netherlands will be looking for revenge for that match. The United States will be looking to prove they are still the best. They will be looking to expel any doubt anyone has about them. There is also a lot of weight on this match because the winner will advance out of the group stage.

Both the United States and the Netherlands won their opening matches. Both teams got shutouts in their opening matches. Neither team has allowed a goal so far in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. Both teams kind of under preformed in their opening matches. Portugal managed to limit the Netherlands to one goal in their first match. The Netherlands were not converting chances and their scoring power wasn’t there. The United States also had trouble converting scoring chances. Balls were hitting posts, shots were going wide, and passes were missing. Those are things they need to tighten up on as the tournament goes on they should get better at those things. Despite all of the flaws in that game the United States still dominated. They should have had five or six goals but they kept majority of possession and kept Vietnam from even getting a shot.

I think this game should be close. It should be the best game from Group E. This game could be the best game in the group stage. Both teams are probably looking at this game as a must win. I think it will be a challenge for both teams. It think goals in this game will be at a premium. I also think one goal could cause a domino effect of multiple goals coming in short period. I think that the game will be decided by one play or ten to fifteen minutes of play during the game. It is going to be a tight match. Both teams are going to come out looking to score. The first goal will be huge.

If the United States win there shouldn’t be that much pressure to win their next game against Portugal. If the Netherlands win they should have an easy road to winning the group and going 3-0-0 with their final game coming against Vietnam. If todays game ends in a draw the pressure will be on to win their final matches. If the United States loses tonight they will need to win against Portugal. Right now the United states has a 76% chance of beating Portugal. Without a total collapse from the United states they should advance no matter the result of tonights match. It’s the same thing with the Netherlands. They play Vietnam in their final match. that should be an easy win for them. If the Netherlands lose today they would still advance from the group stage with w win over Vietnam.

Prediction: 2-1 USA win
