Vietnam ran out of chances to qualify for the group stage after losing 0-3 to the US and 0-2 to Portugal. Meanwhile, the Netherlands wants to win a strong victory over Vietnam to compete for the first place in Group H - a position that is likely to help them avoid strong opponents Sweden in the round of 16.
This is the first time the two teams have met in history. Vietnam women will try to avoid becoming the second Asian team to lose all three group stage matches without scoring, after Japan in 1991. The Netherlands have won seven of the last nine matches at the Women's World Cup, two without They won evenly against the US when they drew 1-1 in the second round of the group stage this year and lost 0-2 in the final 2019.
The two teams will meet at 14:00 tomorrow 1/8 at Forsyth Barr Stadium, in Dunedin City, New Zealand. Because it is located in the south of New Zealand, the temperature in Dunedin will be lower than the two previous Vietnamese venues. However, the Forsyth Barr yard is built closed, so it is warmer than outdoors, and is not affected by extreme weather conditions such as rain or snow.
