The Scout: World Cup Matchday 14 Preview, 3 Dec

Posted on | Posted by The Scout

Round of 16 (1)

Netherlands v USA

The Dutch camp had been hit with a virus and it is unclear how many players are impacted. Cody Gapko is proving to be a star of the tournament and looms as the difference maker in this contest. Memphis Depay is back in the starting line-up following his injury problems. Matthijs de Ligt and Nathan Ake are each a booking away from a suspension.

The lack of a clinical striker continues to hamper the USA, and it will ultimately be their undoing here. Josh Sargent is a good hold up man but lacks goals and is nursing a sore ankle. Christian Pulisic was forced off at half time against Iran following a collision as he scored the only goal, however he is expected to play.

WIN Netherlands @ $1.95*

Argentina v Australia

Argentina are back on track having been caught cold by Saudi Arabia in their first game. The inclusion of Enzo Fernandez has improved the midfield, and Julian Alvarez should keep his spot after finding the net against Mexico.

Graham Arnold’s Socceroos are heavy underdogs but that won’t phase them having come through a very difficult group. They will see very little of the ball against Argentina so heavy legs come into play if Arnold continues to pick the same players. As against Denmark, smart substitutions and resolute defending will be key.

WIN Argentina @ $1.23*

*Odds correct as at 9am, 3rd December 2022.
