The U.S. women’s national team are set to square off against the Netherlands Wednesday night at Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand . The match is the second of three group games for the USA as they continue their pursuit of a fifth World Cup title. No team has ever achieved a three-peat of cups and the USWNT are in prime position to be the first to do so. They’ll have to get through the group, where all games take place in New Zealand and they include a 2019 final rematch against the Netherlands.
The Americans head into matchday two as Group E leaders after an opening-day victory against Vietnam. The USWNT defeated the Golden Star Women Warriors 3-0 on Friday. The Netherlands defeated Portugal 1-0 on Sunday. Their matchday two fixture is considered a battle for the top spot in the group.
