The 2022 FIFA World Cup round of 16 kicks off at the Khalifa International Stadium as Group A winners Netherlands face Group B runners-up USA. Louis van Gaal set the ambitious target of becoming world champions this winter for his side while USA have been praised for playing some quality football under head coach Gregg Berhalter.
Oranje are the favourites at 19/20 with bookies Betfred while USA are 7/2 and a draw is 23/10. This is the first competitive match between the two sides having met five times in friendlies since 1998 with Netherlands picking up four wins while Team USA picked up won their most recent meeting back in 2015.
Netherlands will be looking towards Cody Gakpo up front as the PSV Eindhoven player looks to continue his claim as a Golden Boot candidate despite some underwhelming performances from Oranje in the group stages. They improved greatly against Qatar but the host nation had nothing to play for and there was a clear gulf in quality on all areas of the pitch. With more at stake, they will need to make sure that they go beyond second gear this time.
