Van Gaal's side, the Netherlands clashes with the USA today at 15:00 GMT in 2022 round 16. With Van Gal downplaying Deepay's request that Cody Gapko is dropped in favour of Steve Bergwijn, we can only hope both players start up front as they did in the game against Qatar. On the other hand, Christian Pulisic, Timothy Weah and Josh Sargent are all expected to start up front for the USA today Saturday 3rd November 2022.

The round of 16 World Cup 2022 clash between the Netherlands and the USA is a do-or-die for the teams as the loser is automatically eliminated from the tournament. Netherlands vs USA will be staged at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. Read on to bet on the best 2022 World Cup predictions for Netherlands vs USA by Football Ground Guide.

Netherlands vs USA-Predictions by Football Ground Guide

At Football Ground Guide, we have an in-depth analysis of World Cup 2022 matches. Netherlands and USA will now meet for the third time but unlike previous duels that were in friendlies, this third clash is a break-or-make for either side in the 2022 World Cup. Our free Netherlands vs USA predictions are:

First Team to Score Prediction: Netherlands to Score First

We expect the Netherlands to score first in this clash with the USA, the Yanks. Netherland's Cody Gakpo has hit the ground running in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Gakpo is en route to a golden boot contest and is now attracting the attention of Europe's top clubs. He has scored 3 goals for the Dutch Eleven, which is half of the goals they scored in the group stages. On the other hand, the USA has scored only two goals in three group-stage matches, but even with Pulisic registering on the score sheet, they haven't been very threatening upfront. Bet on the Netherlands to score first.

Total Match Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Under 2.5 goals is our second Netherlands vs USA prediction in the World Cup 2016 round 16 clash. We haven't seen a goal fest in most of the games in the Qatar World Cup, so given the significance of group-stage clashes, we predict a low scoreline of fewer than 3 goals in this Netherlands vs USA matchup.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to the Netherlands

Lastly, we predict a 2-0 for the Dutch Eleven at odds 7.80 when they face the USA in the 2022 World Cup round of 16. The Dutch have been strong defensively and boast a better scoring form than the Yanks. Both teams have two clean sheets from group stages, so this should be a narrow win for the Netherlands.

Netherlands vs USA Prediction: Round 16 World Cup 2022 Clash

Netherlands and USA lock horns in the 2022 World Cup knockout stage on 3^rd December 2022. With everything at stake, especially for teams that went unbeaten in the group stages like Holland and USA, this promises to be a tough one to call.

Netherlands Preview

The Netherlands has 7 points from group stages. They won against Senegal and Qatar, bagging clean sheet wins of 2-0 in both cases. A 1-1 draw with Ecuador may have been their toughest game yet but this clash with USA’s Stars and Stripes doesn’t look like a match that the Dutch Eleven should fret about. While the previous two duels with the USA that took place over 5 years shouldn’t have a lot of significance in this game, it is noteworthy that Netherland’s Cody Gakpo is among the top scorers with 3 goals so far. Three different players have scored for Holland namely Gakpo, Frenkie de Jong and Davy Klaasen. Other standout players for Holland to watch in the knockout stages are Andries Moppet, Virgil Dijk and Jurrien Timber.

Dutch head coach and former Manchester United Manager, Luis van Gaal is likely to use the 3-4-1-2 formation as it has worked for his side in the 2022 World Cup. Cody Gakpo is a player to watch in this clash with the USA as he looks to improve his goal-tally in the race to the 2022 World Cup golden boot. Van Gaal's has had an impressive record with the Dutch Eleven as he averages 2.44 points in 18 games. Van Gaal is yet to lose a match as the Dutch head coach and this clash with the USA will be another test on litmus paper for the 71-year-old.

Here is our predicted Netherlands lineup against the USA in today's clash:

Andries Moppert, Jurrien Timber, Virgil van Dijk, Nathan Ake, Denzel Dumfries, Steven Berghuis, Frenkie de Jong, Daley Blind, Davy Klaassen, Cody Gapko and Memphis Deepay.

USA Preview

Before the 2022 World Cup began, not many would have envisaged USMNT making it to the round of 16 in Qatar. But here we are as the Yanks are up against one of the toughest sides in the campaign, the Dutch Eleven. It is hard to grasp the possibility of the USA progressing beyond the round of 16 in this clash with the Netherlands but one thing is clear, it will be their 7^th time in the round of 16. USMNT made it to the round of 16 in 2014, 2010, 2002, 1994, 1934 and 1930 World Cups.

The USA scored just 2 goals in the group stages, bagging 1 win and two draws in the process. Christian Pulisic has been outstanding for USMNT, and so is Timothy Weah; both of whom have scored.

USA head coach, Gregg Berhalter, now averages 2.08 points after 59 games in charge. His record with the Stars and Stripes is something admirable but can he lead his side to the quarterfinals when they face Netherlands today? Here is our predicted USA lineup in what is likely to be a 4-2-3-1 formation:

Matt Turner, Antonee Robison, Tim Ream, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Sergino Dest, Yunus Musah, Tyler Adams, Weston Mc Kennie, Christian Pulisic, Josh Sargent and Timothy Weah.
