Women’s World Cup 2023 Group E betting odds

The United States’ record in World Cup group matches currently stands at:

Played 24. Won 20. Drawn three. Lost one. Goals scored 77. Goals conceded 12.

The Stars and Stripes have never failed to reach the semi-finals at the World Cup, getting all the way five of the the eight finals and hoisting aloft the trophy on four occasions.

This summer, USA are targeting an unprecedented three-peat and, despite the obvious tactical flaws in Vlatko Andonovski’s team, are the favourites to go all the way.

On 27 July, Wellington Regional Stadium will host a World Cup Final rematch, with the U.S. facing Netherlands in a repeat of the 2019 final that the Americans won 2-0.

This time round, Oranje are nowhere near as strong, given that talismanic striker Vivianne Miedema is injured, while they’ve been unable to fill the void left by manager Sarina Wiegman, now in charge of England.

Nevertheless, Netherlands should easily finish in the top two of this group, with Portugal the most obvious threat to this, although even that seems a long-shot.

A Selecção are making their World Cup debut after, at Euro 2022, ending up with just one point on the board, including suffering a 3-2 defeat to the Dutch in Leigh.

If Portugal have any chance of upsetting Group E’s establishment, they’ll feel their opener against Holland in Dunedin is must win.

Vietnam too are debutants, with Mai Đức Chung’s team widely expected to end up on zero points.

The Golden Star Warriors’ rivals Thailand were smashed 13-0 by the U.S. in face, with Vietnam’s first aim to avoid a similar humbling when they take on the World Champions in their opener.

Predicted: 1st: United States. 2nd: Netherlands. 3rd: Portugal. 4th: Vietnam.
