The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 match between Netherlands and Portugal will take place at Forsyth Barr Stadium at 1:00 pm IST on Sunday.
On Sunday, the Netherlands Women’s team will kick off their Women’s World Cup 2023 journey by facing Portugal Women at Dunedin Stadium. The Dutch team has participated in the tournament twice before, while Portugal is gearing up for their inaugural Women’s World Cup appearance.
The Netherlands Women’s team made an impressive run in the 2019 Women’s World Cup, reaching the final but losing 2-0 to the USA. Now, they aim to challenge for the trophy in the 2023 tournament in Australia and New Zealand. First, they must navigate a group that includes the USA, Portugal, and Vietnam. In their final warm-up game, the Netherlands secured a dominant 5-0 victory against Belgium, marking their third win in four matches. With a perfect record in World Cup openers, including 1-0 wins over New Zealand in 2015 and 2019, they look to maintain their winning streak when they face Portugal on Sunday.
Portugal secured their first-ever Women’s World Cup finals qualification through the intercontinental playoffs, defeating Belgium and Iceland 4-1 in extra time. Despite the USA and the Netherlands being favored to progress, Portugal’s confidence is high, having lost just one of their last 12 matches. They have been consistent in scoring, finding the net in 17 of their previous 19 international games. With this form, Portugal aims to make a strong impact in the upcoming tournament and potentially spring a surprise against their opponents.
Netherlands Women probable starting lineup: Van Domselaar, Casparij, Van der Gragt, Janssen, Brugts, Roord, Van de Donk, Egurolla, Pelova, Martens, Beerensteyn
Portugal Women probable starting lineup: Morais, Amado, Gomes, Costa, Alves, T. Pinto, D. Silva, Norton, Capeta, J. Silva, Di. Silva
