Netherlands W vs Japan W Prediction & Betting tips
The women’s World Cup 2019 in France is firmly in European hands. The first four knockout rounds, which had already been completed at the editorial deadline, all found a European winner. This means that the hitting and stinging around the Olympic tickets on the old continent will abruptly continue.
Only the three best European teams at the World Cup will be allowed to travel to Tokyo for the Olympic Games next year. Not only because of this aspect, the European champion on Tuesday under pressure, because the quarter-final, it should be for the Dutch women already. By name, however, Japan has a very tough opponent at hand.
After all, the Japanese women were world champions in 2011 and also finished in Canada four years ago. To date, they have not been able to convince completely in France this year. Therefore, superficially, we would make a prediction on a victory for the European champion in the duel between Holland and Japan. However, the Asian women always know how to increase. Therefore, we can not rule out that the Japanese will prevail. At least that would not be a surprise. Nevertheless, the roles are actually clearly distributed after the preliminary round.
The Netherlands have a clean slate with nine points, while the Japanese have struggled with four points through the group stage. This is another aspect that speaks in the last sixteen between Holland and Japan for the Europeans. However, if you can prevail in this duel, you will also be in the quarter-final against Italy or China. The way to the semifinal seems to be relatively open.
To win a victory on Tuesday, but it requires a show of strength. Although this game will be kicked off late, temperatures are likely to be enormous. Maybe that could accommodate the Japanese. The kick-off for the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup 2019 between Holland and Japan in the Roazhon Park of Rennes will take place on 25.06.2019 at 20:00.
Netherlands:
Oranje has passed through the preliminary round without loss. It was not that the Netherlands played intoxicating football, but the European champions can rely on their offensive. The load of the goal shooting is nicely distributed on several shoulders. Holland scored six goals in the preliminary round and only top star Vivianne Miedema scored twice. So, coach Sara Wiegman has many options in the attack that almost everyone has already stung.
That makes the Dutch women difficult to calculate and conversely so successful. There have been seven consecutive wins and that’s why you’re in favor of this knockout round. Before the kick-off between Holland and Japan, odds of just under 2.00 are offered on a Dutch victory. If we look at the good form, then these are very acceptable quotas. The question is whether the opponents in the preliminary round were so strong that it is an honor to have marched through with three wins.
For Oranje had difficulties both in the opening match against New Zealand and then against Cameroon. Perhaps the best match came from the team of Sara Wiegman in the final group match against Canada. Nevertheless, it was narrow in the end. Anouk Dekker scored with a header in the 54th minute, the 1-0 lead. Canada was able to equalize immediately. Lineth Beerensteyn was reserved to mark the 2-1 winner.
The three points and the group victory went well, but it could have been different. On the defensive, more stability is needed. That also sees Jackie Groenen Sun, which calls for a compact back team against Japan. This will be necessary against technically savvy, small and agile Asian women. Sara Wiegman had her full squad ready for the last sixteen. This means that the coach will again be spoiled for choice in the next match.
Japan:
The Japanese women seem to be getting a bit old, because some of the ladies in the squad were already in 2011 in Germany world champion. Perhaps there is also a lack of hunger for success, because what the team from Japan at the World Cup so far delivers, probably not enough to get much further. The opponents are getting stronger and so we think that Japan will not play for the third time in a row in the World Cup final.
The current form is also anything but the constitution of a title candidate. In the last seven games, there was only one victory for the Japanese. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to make a prediction for the Asian women in the duel between Holland and Japan. Basically, Japan has not been able to convince at the World Cup in any game so far. Against the underdog from Argentina, it was enough only to a poor 0: 0.
Japan was better, but could not take advantage of the opportunities. After all, there was a 2-1 win against Scotland, which in the end also meant the qualification for the knockout stages. Against England, the team of Asako Takakura then conceded a 0-2 defeat. Now is the time to step up and finally get into the tournament. If it does not work on Tuesday, then there will be no further opportunity to do so.
The Japanese women will demand everything from their opponents, but in terms of quality, this team has noticeably reduced in recent times. Nevertheless, the coach is looking forward to this match. Although he sees the Dutch women as a very strong team against which it should not be difficult to find the right formation and tactics. We are very curious if the Japanese coach is not wrong. In terms of personnel, everything is in the green for the Japanese. We do not expect great changes compared to the England game.
