Netherlands Women’s National Football Team vs Portugal Women’s National Football Team Lineups 23 July 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The much-awaited match between Portugal and Netherlands in Group E will take place at the Dunedin Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand. Both teams are in the same group as the United States and Vietnam, and this opening game marks the start of their campaign in the tournament.
The Netherlands go into the game with a lot of power, occupying a position in the top 10 of the FIFA world rankings. Their impressive run at the 2019 World Cup, where they reached the final, speaks volumes about their quality and ability on the field. Furthermore, history seems to favor the Netherlands in this match as they have an all-time best record of 7 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss against Portugal, having scored 14 goals in eight matches against their opponents.
During the qualifying matches, the Netherlands showed their dominance, scoring 31 goals and conceding only 3 in eight games. Their impressive performances in friendlies, including 9-1 victories over Belgium and Poland ahead of the World Cup, further demonstrate their prowess.
However, Portugal is not without its challenges. The absence of superstar Vivianne Miedema due to injuries is a blow to the Dutch team. Miedema’s contribution to the national team with 95 goals in 115 matches cannot be underestimated, and his presence in this important game will be sorely missed.
