United States vs. Netherlands Predictions
The United States has not conceded a goal in play across three World Cup matches. That’s surprising, as most USMNT supporters pointed to the defense (particularly the CBs) as the weak link of this team. However, USA has looked strong, even shutting out high-powered England with a 0-0 draw. Will that defense hold up against the Netherlands, a team that scored five goals across three Group Stage matches?
Including three matches in the 2022 World Cup, the Netherlands has not lost in 18 straight matches. That includes convincing victories against World Cup sides like Denmark, Belgium x2, Wales x2, and Poland. The Dutch have more talent from top to bottom than the United States, so USMNT will need to do everything in its power to neutralize that and avoid costly mistakes.
The 0-0 draw against England injected a big dose of belief into the United States, especially when looking at its defensive prowess. There’s a chance this young American squad does it again, finishing with a gritty draw in regulation.
