Thursday's Women's World Cup predictions including USA vs. Netherlands

USA Women vs. N'lands Women (Thursday, 2.00am)

A rematch of the 2019 Women's World Cup final will take place on Thursday when reigning champions USA Women face Netherlands Women in Wellington.

The Stars and Stripes begun the Women's World Cup 2023 with a comfortable win over Vietnam, while the Dutch managed to edge out Portugal.

We say: USA Women 2-1 Netherlands Women

We think that the two highest-ranked teams in the group will produce an intriguing encounter, and while the Netherlands have enough quality to trouble the USA, we believe that the world champions will continue their fine run of form to claim a narrow victory.

Portugal Women vs. Vietnam Women (Thursday, 8.30am)

Portugal Women and Vietnam Women will both look to get off the mark in the Women's World Cup 2023 when they face off on Thursday.

The Selecao began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Netherlands, while Vietnam were beaten by the defending champions USA.

We say: Portugal Women 2-0 Vietnam Women

Both countries will be desperate to claim all three points, but we think that Portugal will have the extra quality required to get the better of Vietnam on Thursday.

Australia Women vs. Nigeria Women (Thursday, 11.00am)

After beginning the Women's World Cup 2023 with a victory, Australia Women will be looking to add three more points to their tally when they face Nigeria Women on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Super Falcons will be hoping to claim their first win of the tournament after holding Canada to a draw in their opening game.

We say: Australia Women 2-1 Nigeria Women

Nigeria showed in their tournament opener that they have the capability to compete with some of the best teams in the world, but we think that they will be edged out by an Australian side that will be spurred on by their home support.
