2023 Women’s World Cup betting picks: US women's soccer money line (-141 or better)
Despite not winning by as much as many predicted, the USWNT still looked very solid in its first game as they overwhelmed a weaker Vietnam side. The Netherlands is one of the best teams in the world and finished second at the 2019 Women’s World Cup.
Still, getting the U.S. at -140 is a great line for them to win this game. They are on a mission to win their third straight world cup and have so much talent at every position that they outclass the majority of opponents they go up against.
These two teams are almost certainly going to be the ones that finish atop the division but go with the U.S. and their more experienced side to come away victorious in this one.
US women's soccer props: USWNT to score in first half (-125 or better)
While the Netherlands managed to keep a clean sheet against Portugal, stopping the USWNT from finding the back of the net will be much more difficult. The three goals that the USWNT scored against Vietnam seemed disappointing, proving the offensive firepower and expectations of this team.
With Alex Morgan and Sophia Smith up front, the USWNT features two of the best offensive players in the world. Smith had two goals and an assist against Vietnam, while Morgan missed a penalty.
The two will definitely have plenty of chances and the odds are that one of them will get through in the first half. With close to even odds, this is a savvy wager to get a solid return on the U.S. scoring early.
2023 Women's World Cup odds: Tie or Netherlands moneyline (+105 or better)
If you believe that the Netherlands will give the USWNT a run for their money, this is a very good bet. You can get better than even odds and win no matter if they draw or win outright.
The Netherlands are a good side that perhaps had a more impressive first showing than the Americans. They almost won the entire tournament in 2019 and are a top-10 team in the world, good enough to beat anyone on any given day.
You’re covering a lot of outcomes with this bet and still getting a solid return for it. The Netherlands had a strong showing against Portugal and if they play that way again, can stay in this game.
