In a Group E matchup, Vietnam (0-2-0 / W-L-D) and Netherlands (1-0-1) meet Tuesday in the 2023 Women’s World Cup at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Vietnam vs. Netherlands odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.
Vietnam heads into this match with no hope of advancing to the Round of 16 after a 3-0 setback to the United States, and a 2-0 loss against Portugal last time out on Thursday. Vietnam was surprisingly effective on defense against Portugal, allowing just the 2 goals on 29 shot attempts and 9 shots on target.
Netherlands snuck by Portugal by a 1-0 count in the opener, before playing a spirited 1-1 draw against the USWNT on Wednesday. A win or a draw gets the Dutch side into the Round of 16, but a win and a strong goal differential could help it secure the group’s top spot.

Vietnam vs. Netherlands picks and predictions
Prediction
Netherlands 5, Vietnam 0
Moneyline (ML)
Netherlands (-5000) will cost you 50 times your potential return, which is not a recommended betting strategy. In other words, you must risk $100 for every $2 won. There is never a reason to bet such a heavy favorite.
The Dutch side should be comfortably into the knockout stages, but Netherlands also needs to impress. The USWNT is facing Portugal, which is a much more difficult side, while the Dutch can really light it up against an inferior opponent. Netherlands trails the USWNT by 2 in the goal differential department.
A better play is taking NETHERLANDS AND OVER 4.5 COMBINED GOALS SCORED (+100) at even money in the “match result and total goals” prop category.
Over/Under (O/U)
Take a chance on OVER 4.5 GOALS (+105) at plus-money.
Netherlands will be looking to impress, emptying the tank trying to score as many goals as possible in an attempt to surpass the USWNT in goal differential.
In addition, I think Netherlands could start a little slow, but it will pour it on in the 2nd half. As a result, playing 2ND HALF – HALF WITH MOST GOALS (-125) is a worthwhile prop to play.
