Netherlands v USA team news
Netherlands predicted line-up: Noppert; Timber, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, De Roon, F. De Jong, Blind; Klaassen; Gakpo, Depay
USA predicted line-up: Turner; Dest, Carter-Vickers, Ream, Robinson; McKennie, Adams, Musah; Weah, Sargent, Pulisic
Netherlands v USA prediction
This could be one of the upsets of the Round of 16. The Netherlands boast real quality in Cody Gakpo, but main man Memphis Depay is clearly not match fit and may not be greatly useful for the Dutch.
The US have not looked pretty at this World Cup but they look very fit, very hungry and very organised. Do they have enough killer threat to trouble the elite teams? Probably not. However, they could stifle the Dutch here.
Weston McKennie is a superstar in the making and could put his name up in lights here.
Our prediction: Netherlands 1-2 USA (16/1 at bet365)
