The Netherlands will aim for a place in the quarterfinals without being beaten as they begin the Round of 16 against the United States.

Their faltering performance against Ecuador was just a small bright spot as the Netherlands ended the final clash with a comprehensive victory over hosts Qatar.

The United States will enter this clash full of confidence in their performance at this World Cup. Starting with a draw with Wales, they switched to a goalless draw with England. They then finished the group stage with a convincing 1-0 victory over Iran. They need to win against their Asian opponents, as a draw or loss will knock them out of the tournament. A Christian Pulisic goal was enough to win three points and advance to the next round. The United States has yet to beat a European team at the World Cup since 2002, losing five and drawing six of the games it has played since that tournament.
That victory over Iran was also their first win in six games in all competitions. The United States did not have a good record against the Netherlands, losing 4 times in friendlies. However, their most recent game against Oranje saw the US come back to win 4-3 in 2015.
