Netherlands vs USA preview
As many soccer pundits expected, Louis van Gaal’s side topped Group A to advance to the round of 16.
The Oranje, who have only been eliminated in the group stage twice in the past 32 years, managed to defeat a rock-solid Senegal team at the very end of the match, which ended up making the difference in the final standings.
The European side has proven to be a rock-solid opponent, not only in Qatar but in recent years: since their Euro 2020 elimination, they have recorded an 18-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
Moreover, veteran coach Van Gaal could add an 11th consecutive World Cup game without defeat against the USMNT in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, days before the start of the World Cup, the USMNT’s Christian Pulisic admitted Gregg Berhalter’s team were focused on changing the perception that many fans have about American soccer by putting in a good performance in Qatar.
The truth is that Pulisic seems to be delivering, as he scored the winning goal over Iran that sealed a spot for the USA in the knockout rounds. The USMNT also qualified for this round in 2010 and 2014.
Netherlands
All Van Gaal’s men will be available to play against the USMNT, except for defender Jeremie Frimpong, who will miss out after suffering an injury scare with his ankle on Wednesday.
There may be very few or no changes at all in the starting XI, although Matthijs de Ligt and Nathan Ake could miss a potential quarterfinal game if they receive yellow cards.
It will be a special game for Cody Gakpo, who could become the first-ever Dutchman to score in four successive World Cup matches.
USA
Pulisic suffered a pelvic contusion while scoring the winner against Iran, but he said that he would be fine for Saturday’s crucial game, while Weston McKennie is struggling with a quad problem.
The USA will try to beat a UEFA team for the first time since the 2002 World Cup and end their negative streak of three previous knockout games lost against European nations at the tournament.
Netherlands vs USA prediction
This tie has the potential to be very close, as both sides have shown they can level up and deliver good performances.
The USMNT are determined to keep advancing in the World Cup and don’t seem to be afraid of squads with more international pedigree.
However, the Netherlands, who hold the record for playing the most World Cup finals without ever winning the tournament (1974, 1978 and 2010), are used to this kind of matches and their experience could very well be the deciding factor between both nations.
Prediction: Netherlands 1-0 USA
Who is refereeing Netherlands vs USA?
Brazilian referee Wilton Sampaio will take charge of the fixture. Alongside him are assistants Bruno Boschilia and Bruno Pires, while the fourth official is Andrés Matías Matonte Cabrera.
