Group E is bound to make headlines as the reigning world champions, the USA, feature against the runners-up of the 2019 FIFA World Cup and two new entrants in Vietnam and Portugal.
Let’s take a look at the national teams in Group E and see what are their chances of progressing to the knockout stage. Make sure to check the LV BET Sports Blog for more information about the Women’s FIFA World Cup to uncover the top betting tips.
Who exactly are the participants of Group E?
UNITED STATES
The USA are the most successful team in the FIFA World Cup, with a total of four titles coming in 1991, 1999, 2015 and 2019. They are one of the favourites once again to win the tournament, but it won’t be a shock if they don’t as most of the players are reaching the late stages of their career.
Looking ahead at the chances of the USA topping the group, LV BET is pricing it at x.xx, mainly due to the vast experience that they have over Vietnam and Portugal who will be participating in the tournament for the first time in their history. Running the show for the USA will be the usual candidates of Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Crystal Dunn, and Lindsey Horan. Megan Rapinoe has suffered an injury that has seen her out of action for a long time, but she is determined to make a comeback and play in her last FIFA World Cup at the age of 37, remarkable.
The USA are the favourites to make it three in a row at 3.60.
VIETNAM
Vietnam is one of the countries in a long list this World Cup that will be participating for the first time. Their place in the tournament was sealed after winning the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup play-off. They have a tough group as they face the reigning champions USA and the runner’s up in the same competition, the Netherlands, so their chances of progressing to the knockout stage could be curtailed.
The team has enjoyed a great year losing just one game out of the seven they participated in. Most of the games came from the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, which Vietnam managed to win after beating Myanmar 2-0 in the final. It will be interesting to see how they set up to disappoint some of the biggest forces in women’s football.
NETHERLANDS
Another powerhouse that will be fiercely competing to win Group E, is the Netherlands. The 2019 runners up suffered a very tough defeat at the hands of the USA and would love to get one over them. A very interesting fact about the Dutch national team is that most of the teams do not play in their homeland but play mainly in Italy, Spain, France and Germany, showcasing that their talent is well appreciated throughout the continent.
LV BET is pricing the chances of the Netherlands of reaching yet another final at 8.75, first step for the Dutch is to try and win against the USA and hope to win the group, which would set them up brilliantly for the rest of the tournament.
PORTUGAL
The other national team that would be making its debut this FIFA World Cup will be Portugal. It was a given that Portugal women’s team would qualify for a World Cup as they have had some outstanding youth systems for both men and women, and this is the result of investing in a great infrastructure that helps nurture good quality football players.
It’s a very tough group to find yourself in, but if you want to become the best, one must play against the best. A great challenge lies ahead for Portugal, and we are pricing their chances of a semi-final showing at 9.25.
