Why Netherlands is a Good Bet Versus USA

In their first soccer match at the 2023 World Cup, the Netherlands beat a much better team than the United States. The Dutch got by Portugal 1-0 but the score doesn’t represent the Netherlands’ dominance.

The Dutch controlled possession against Portugal 56% to 44%. The Netherlands also took 12 shots and 5 on goal compared to Portugal’s 2 shots and 1 on goal. For sure, the Dutch are playing well enough to upset the Americans.

Why USA is a Good Bet Against Netherlands

Although the United States beat Vietnam 3-0, like the Netherlands versus Portugal, the score doesn’t reflect the U.S.’s true dominant performance.

The United States took a crazy 28 shots. 7 of the shots were on goal. So the score could have been much worse if not for Vietnam playing a defensive game. The Vietnamese didn’t take a single shot. Instead, Vietnam held everyone back to try and keep the loss to a minimum.

If the game is more open on Wednesday nigh, the U.S. could counter attack and then beat the Netherlands by double-digits.

Final Betting Analysis: United States vs. Netherlands

Although the U.S. played well against the Vietnamese, they could only muster 3 goals. On Wednesday night, the Americans go up against a solid Netherlands side, one that has the ability to attack.

This is a much tougher assignment than Vietnam and it should show on the pitch. The Netherlands is a good enough team to pull off the upset victory.

However, the Dutch are likely to play a conservative game. The Netherlands already has the victory over Portugal. Vietnam has little, if no shot, of beating the Dutch.

So we should expect the Netherlands to frustrate the Americans by playing defense and then countering for most of the night. Backing the Dutch to pull off the upset is tough. But a draw is a real possibility.
