Bas – USA CDM 2022: prediction, odds + compositions

With the first round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, serious things are starting in Qatar! To start the knockout round, the Netherlands meet the United States. The Oranje managed to secure first place in Group A with 7 points. The Americans also remained undefeated and moved into the last 16 teams of the competition with five points and a second place in Group B. The first round of 16 therefore promises to be exciting.

The Netherlands are among the favorites for the 2022 World Cup, but they could only partially prove it in the first round. Louis van Gaal’s side played unspectacular football for much of the competition. But it did rather well for the Oranje with two wins and just one goal conceded in the group stage. However, an improvement in the game is now needed if they really want to fight for the title.

For the United States, the first qualification for the round of 16 since 2014 is already a good course. In the last group game, the US-Boys proved that they weren’t under pressure. The necessary victory against Iran was obtained with the score of 1-0. Moreover, against England, the United States showed on several occasions that they could be dangerous against a top-level nation. They now want to prove it against the Netherlands.

Important information for Netherlands – USA

Odds & Prediction for Netherlands vs USA

The Dutch national team is among the favorites for the title of world champion. It is therefore not surprising that the Oranje are also the favorites of the bookmakers for this round of 16 against the USA. The odds for a Dutch win are around 1.90. In case of a draw, the odds are around 3.20. In contrast, an American victory is quoted at around 4.60.

These 2022 World Cup odds are valid for the regular 90 minutes. From the knockout stage onwards, extra time until the penalty shootout is also possible. The Netherlands against the United States is a match where this scenario is not at all improbable.

The game should be very close. Both teams have so far let very little through defensively and conceded only one goal each. Patience could therefore be the key word of this meeting. In this case, we bet the individual quality of the Dutch will eventually pay off. Thus, we believe that the Netherlands will reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup thanks to a 1-0 victory.

The X factor could once again be Cody Gakpo. The Eindhoven midfield star is already three goals down and is therefore a prime candidate for the 2022 World Cup top scorer title, provided the Netherlands stay in the tournament for a bit longer.
