Match Preview
| The penultimate quarter-final match of the Women’s World Cup (WC) sees the first-ever WC meeting between Italy (FIFA rank: #15) and the Netherlands (#8). However, the ‘Azzurre’ are winless against the ‘Oranje’ in the last four meetings in all competitions (D2, L2); all of which saw both teams find the net. |
| In Italy’s only prior appearance at this stage of the WC, they lost 3-2 to Norway who went on to finish as runners-up. However, Italy have been a free-scoring side in this campaign, scoring at least twice in each of their three victories (W3, L1 – 2.25 goals p/match average). Notably, two thirds of Italy’s WC goals this year have come after half-time. |
| The Netherlands can become just the third side to achieve victory over nations from five confederations in a single WC campaign with victory here. They have already dispatched OFC, CAF, CONCACAF and AFC opposition; albeit three of the wins were by a single-goal margin only. |
| The Netherlands have opened the scoring only to concede an equaliser in each of their last three WC matches, twice within ten minutes of them scoring. This directly follows a previous run of four games winning ‘to nil’. |
| Players to watch: Italy’s Manuela Guigliano leads the way with three assists from just six chances created, whilst Aurora Galli (ITA) has scored three of her country’s last four WC goals. |
| Netherlands and Barcelona star Lieke Martens scored either side of half-time to see them through to this stage for the first time. She also scored 11 goals in 23 appearances in the Primera division last season. |
| Stat attack: Italy have scored nine goals from 46 attempts (19.56%) at this WC. |
| Italy were winning at half-time in three of the last four H2Hs (W3, L1), despite winning none. |
| Five of the Netherlands’ last six matches have seen over 2.5 total goals. |
