Netherlands vs. USA - Betting tips, predictions, and odds
The Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup starts with a duel between the Netherlands and USA when they face at Khalifa International Stadium. Here you can get the best Netherlands vs. USA betting tips and predictions.
H2H, form, and stats
Netherlands and USA have met four times so far, all four were friendly games. The Oranje won three while the Americans were better in the most recent H2H in 2015.
The Netherlands won Group A with seven points, one above Senegal. Louis van Gaal’s men scored five and conceded only one goal in the process and secured a top spot after a 2-0 victory over Qatar. So far at this World Cup, Cody Gakpo is the Netherlands’ top scorer with three goals, which also makes him a joint top-scorer of the tournament alongside four other players. Davy Klaassen recorded two assists and scored a goal, while Frenkie de Jong has a goal and an assist to his name. The Netherlands is now unbeaten in 18 matches (W13, D5).
The USA beat Iran to secure a place in the Round of 16, and it was Christian Pulisic, who scored a winner in the first half to give precious three points to his nation. The Yanks finished the group stage in the 2nd place behind England after collecting five points (W1, D2) and allowing only one goal while scoring two on the other end. Gregg Berhalter’s side has three wins in the previous ten games (D5, L2).
Injuries and squad news
The Netherlands’ head coach Louis van Gaal is happy to have his top scorer Memphis Depay healthy. The Barcelona forward started the final game in the group against Qatar and played for 66 minutes and will probably start again with Gakpo in the attack. The only injured player is defender Jeremie Frimpong, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Still, his potential absence won’t hurt the Dutch team as he is not a starting eleven member.
Christian Pulisic sustained a pelvis injury in the first half against Iran and is questionable to feature against the Netherlands. However, considering the significance of this game, it would be surprising if the head coach Gregg Berhalter keeps him on the bench. The player himself stated that he’ll be ready for Saturday, which is a major boost for the Americans, who can count on their best player.
Betting predictions and odds
The bookies are favoring the Netherlands in this encounter, and you can back the Oranje at 1.91 odds. If you believe the Yanks can make a surprise here, you can bet on them at 4.24, while a draw is at 3.38. For those who prefer betting on goals instead, choose from Over 2.5 goals at 2.00 and Under 2.5 goals at 1.80 odds.
Our best tip for the Netherlands vs. USA game
The USA played in the quarter-finals at World Cup only twice, the last time in 2002, and it will be hard to beat the Netherlands to progress to the quarters here. Although the Oranje didn't impress thus far in the tournament, they saved their best for the knockout phase. Considering the individual quality and current form, we’re backing the Netherlands to advance and take on Argentina (probably) in the next round.
Both teams have solid defenses, so don’t expect to see plenty of goals. Louis van Gaal is a very experienced coach who already led this nation to third place at the WC in 2014. It is not going to be easy to repeat that success here in Qatar, but the Netherlands is surely good enough to beat the USA.
