The Netherlands can shake off the title of Best Country That Never Won the World Cup when the Netherlands take on the United States in the round of 16 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Ar-Rayyan on Saturday. In 10 previous World Cup participations, the Oranje were second three times, third once and fourth once. The Netherlands never failed to reach the knockout stages, but they never won the ultimate prize. To do that, they need to beat an up-and-coming American team this year who are the second youngest in the World Cup. The winner of Saturday’s game meets either Argentina or Australia in the quarter-finals. Christian Pulisic was cleared for the USMNT after suffering a pelvic injury against Iran.
Kickoff is at 10 a.m. ET. The Netherlands are the -112 favorites (risk $112 to win $100) in the latest USA-Netherlands odds from Caesars Sportsbook, with the USMNT being the +350 underdogs. A 90 minute draw costs +220. The over/under for the total number of goals scored is 2.5.

Why you should bet on the Netherlands
The Dutch were unbeatable under coach Louis van Gaal. Since 71-year-old van Gaal took up his third spell as Oranje coach in August 2021, the Netherlands have recorded 13 wins and five draws in 18 games. This run includes two wins against Belgium and Wales and one against Denmark. The Dutch lost the last time in June 2021 when the Czech Republic edged them out in the round of 16 at the European Championship.
In addition, the Netherlands have a world-class central defender in Virgil van Dijk. The 31-year-old Liverpool defender leads the team in interceptions (three) and headers won (11) at the 2022 World Cup. He also ranks third in the team for passes completed (181).

Why you should bet on the USA
Tyler Adams was a force for Americans. Adams, a 23-year-old defensive midfielder who plays for Leeds United in the Premier League, was a sideline-to-sideline tackle machine throughout the tournament, backtracking to thwart opponents’ attacks before turning into a real one can become a threat. He has a team high of 10 tackles before Saturday’s showdown. Led by Adams, the Americans have conceded just one goal in Qatar, from a penalty.
Additionally, the United States has so far outperformed the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup on several metrics. The Americans have shot more (28-25), created more chances (23-19) and scored more (22-12) than the Netherlands. See which team you should pick here.
