USA take on Netherlands in round two of the World Cup group stage. The upcoming game will take place at Wellington Regional Stadium this coming Thursday.
USA sit as number one with three points following their opening Group E match, with the Netherlands having three points as number two.
USA could not have wished for a better start to their World Cup campaign. They absolutely annihilated Vietnam and will be brimming with confidence before their upcoming match after their 3-0 win. Coming away from their next World Cup match with anything but a defeat for the Netherlands would be a massive surprise. It looks like a question of simply trying to minimize the defeat everyone expects them to suffer.
Team form: USA vs Netherlands
USA Form
The USA swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 1-0 against Ireland. They went on to defeat Wales 2-0 and made it three on the spin against Vietnam in a 3-0 victory. It was hit and miss for USA in recent times, as they won ten of their last 10 matches across all tournaments, suffering zero defeats.
Netherlands Form
The Netherlands look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Poland, who were defeated by 4-1. Then, Belgium got outclassed in a 5-0 win, before beating Portugal by 1-0. The Netherlands were able to win seven of their previous 10 internationals across all tournaments. They suffered three defeats in this run.
The USA have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt the Netherlands are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Wellington Regional Stadium, as we aim for the home win.
