Revenge will be on the minds of the Netherlands when they square off against the United States Women's National Team in a 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group E match on Wednesday. The Dutch won the first meeting between the sides in 1991 but have endured a draw and eight losses in the last nine matchups, including a 2-0 defeat in the 2019 World Cup final. The clubs last battled in the quarterfinals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, with Team USA winning 4-2 on penalties. The Netherlands and USWNT are even atop their group after opening this tournament with 1-0 and 3-0 victories against Portugal and Vietnam, respectively.
Kickoff at Wellington Regional Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand is set for 9 p.m. ET. The Americans are the -160 favorites (risk $160 to win $100) in the latest USWNT vs. Netherlands odds, while the Dutch are +460 underdogs.

Why you should back the USWNT
Sophia Smith is doing her best to help make up for the absence of fellow forward Mallory Swanson, who recorded eight goals over the first seven games of the Americans' winning streak before suffering a torn patellar tendon. The 22-year-old Smith got off to a strong start in her first Women's World Cup, recording a brace in the first half against Vietnam before notching an assist on Lindsey Horan's second-half goal. She is the second-youngest player in USWNT history to net multiple goals in a Women's World Cup match and youngest since Cat Whitehill in 2003.
Team USA have no shortage of players capable of producing offensively as Horan, Rose Lavelle, Alex Morgan and Trinity Rodman each have converted twice during the club's 10-game run. The 34-year-old Morgan, who registered her 50th career assist in the victory over Vietnam, has recorded 121 goals in 208 caps with the national team. Horan's goal against the Vietnamese was her second in four matches across all competitions and 28th in 130 fixtures for the USWNT. See who to back at SportsLine.

Why you should back the Netherlands
The Dutch received offensive production from an unlikely source in their Women's World Cup opener as Stephanie van der Gragt scored the only goal of the match in the 13th minute. It was the first goal in 12 contests for the 30-year-old defender, who has converted only 13 times in 103 fixtures for the national team. This is exactly what the Netherlands are going to need, however, as they are without top scorer Vivianne Miedema due to a torn ACL.
Two players from which the Dutch will expect production are midfielder Jill Roord and winger Lieke Martens. The 26-year-old Roord has scored 21 goals in 88 matches with the national team, with seven of them coming during qualifying. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Martens is the leader on the Netherlands' current roster with 60 goals in 146 caps. See who to back at SportsLine.
