Vietnam vs Netherlands Prediction: Netherlands will win effortlessly

Vietnam’s World Cup campaign ended as expected. They came into the competition with a very poor record of 4 defeats in a row. And then they lost the 2 games in the group stage of the tournament, which meant they were at the bottom of the group with no points and are leaving the tournament after this game against Netherlands. Netherlands on the other hand are currently in 2nd place with 4 points, same as USA in first spot. Netherlands face competition from Portugal who are only 1 point behind, so they need to win this game to book their place in the Knockout stage of the tournament.

Vietnam extended their losing streak to 6 games in a row after failing to win in their 2 games in the World Cup. They started the tournament with a 3-0 loss to USA and then they lost 2-0 to Netherlands in their last match. Vietnam are currently 4th in the group with 0 points and a goal aggregate of -5.

In the game against Portugal, Vietnam had a chance to grab a point but they failed as the Portuguese were too strong for them and they ended up losing 2-0. Portugal were 2 goals ahead in just 21 minutes, as Telma Encarnacao and Fransisca Nazareth both scored in the 7th and 21st minutes of the game. The game stayed that way until the final whistle and Vietnam were condemned to their second defeat. According to the statistics, Vietnam were dominated in the game as they only managed 31% possession, 1 shot on target and 1 corner kick.

Team streak: losses (6), no goals scored (4), without a clean sheet (6), first to concede (6/6), first half loser (6/6), less than 4.5 cards (10/10), less than 10.5 corners (4/5).

Starting XI (5-4-1)

Tran Thin Kim Thanh, Tran Thi Thu Thao, Luong Thi Thu Thuong, Le Thi Diem My, Tran Thi Thu, Hoang Thi Loan, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, Duong Thi Van, Thai Thi Thao, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung, Nhu Huynh.

The Dutch team have been handed a platter compared to the US and Portugal. They are coming up against a team that has failed to win any of their matches in this competition and failed to win in their last 6 games in a row. With the Dutch needing a win to qualify, this could be a good game for the team. Netherlands are currently second in the group, and just 1 point behind leaders USA. But they have Portugal 1 point behind them and if Portugal pulls off a win against the USA, then the Netherlands would be in serious trouble.

Netherlands played out a 1-1 draw against USA in the last game. They took the lead through Jill Roord in the 17th minute before USA’s equalizer came through Lindsey Horan in the 62nd minute. The game ended in a draw at full time as both sides failed to go ahead. According to the statistics, Netherlands had 56% possession, 1 shot on target and 1 corner kick in that game.

Team streak: no losses (4), first to score (7/9), first half winner (7/9), less than 4.5 cards (10/10), less than 10.5 corners (6/8).

Starting XI (3-5-2)

Daphne van Domselaar, Dominique Janssen, Stefanie van der Gragt, Sherida Spitse, Esmee Brugts, Jackie Groenen, Danielle van de Donk, Jill Roord, Victoria Pelova, Lieke Martens, Katja Snoeijs.

I think there’s really no argument that the Netherlands will win this game effortlessly. They are the better team and they are motivated to qualify for the knockout stages. Also, Vietnam look out of their depth and they have been that way throughout the tournament. They are bowing out of the competition with another defeat and without scoring a single goal.
