Canada vs. Netherlands Women’s World Cup Betting Odds

Canada +123
Draw +245
Netherlands +192

As of this writing, Canada is priced at +144 on Sports Interaction’s Women’s World Cup odds board. The Netherlands are +169 and the chance for a draw between the two teams is priced at +237. This is a big deal for the Canadians, as they have never advanced from the group stage when not playing in North America.

Canada

Canadian soccer superstar Christine Sinclair came close in the match against New Zealand, striking the post but not getting a goal. It was up to Jessie Fleming and Nichelle Prince to put Canada up 2-0 against the New Zealand side to earn their second victory of the tournament. Those two second-half goals helped the Canadians cement their spot in the upcoming round of 16.

Much like in their first game against Cameroon, the Canadian side dominated play throughout the game but struggled to get many chances to score. Jessie Fleming found the back of the net in the 48th minute of play when she converted a pass from Nichelle Prince, who went on to score her own goal at close to the 80th minute.

That win put Canada in a tie with the Netherlands for the Group E lead. This team is nearing a chance to break a record, going unbeaten in 10 games this year. So much of that is due to their unbelievable defense, which has kept the ball out of Canada’s net this entire tournament.

Netherlands

Vivianne Miedema was the big star for the Netherlands on Saturday, finding the back of Cameroon’s net twice to help her team achieve a 3-1 victory and advance to the second round of this tournament. She had some goal-scoring help from teammate Dominique Bloodworth, who scored in the 48th minute.

Gabrielle Onguene got Cameroon’s lone goal in match, which was played in Valenciennes, France.

As they get ready to face the Canadians on Thursday, they find themselves tied on points and goal difference, but with one more goal than Team Canada. The last time these teams played each other, at a friendly in Eindhoven, Canada won 2-1.
