At 8:00 a.m. on July 22, the Vietnamese women's team will enter a historic match at the World Cup. In the first match at the big playground, we have to face a very strong opponent, the US women's team.

Many major newspapers around the world have predicted the outcome of this match. Sport Mole (UK) commented: "The US women's team is the most successful team in the Women's World Cup. They have won the tournament 4 times. In addition, the team in the land of the Stars and Stripes has also reached the semi-finals 8 times.

The US women’s team will naturally want to start the 2023 World Cup with a win over Vietnam, before facing two tougher challenges in the Netherlands and Portugal. The team has been on a perfect run leading up to the World Cup, winning nine consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese women's team is participating in the World Cup for the first time after passing the play-off round in Asia. They excellently won against Taiwan and Thailand to get a historic ticket.

After conceding nine goals in a friendly match against Spain, the Vietnamese women's team is expected to show a more determined performance in the match against the US.

Sport Mole said that the confidence of the Vietnamese women's team was damaged after the 0-9 defeat to Spain. The newspaper predicted that the US women's team would win 6-0 against the Vietnamese women's team.

Sportskeeda (India) commented: "The US women's team is aiming for the third consecutive World Cup championship. In history, no team has been able to do this. Meanwhile, participating in the World Cup is also considered a major event for the Vietnamese women's team.

They just won the SEA Games gold medal but lost all three pre-tournament friendlies against Germany, New Zealand and Spain. In the last match, coach Mai Duc Chung's team lost 0-9.

Meanwhile, the US women's team has been impressive ahead of the tournament, winning nine straight matches and not losing at the World Cup since the 2011 final against Japan. Although the Vietnamese women's team is a force in Southeast Asia, they will face many difficulties against the world's top opponents.

Statistics site Whoscored emphasized: "The Vietnamese women's team is participating in the World Cup for the first time. They are an unknown quantity. In the matches against Germany and New Zealand, this team played well, only losing 1-2 and 0-2. However, the US is a huge challenge. They defeated Thailand 13-0 in the opening match of the 2019 World Cup. Now, the US team can aim for a similar scenario."

Squawka predicts the US women's team will win 3-0. Footballwhispers rates the Vietnamese women's team at only 0.20% chance of winning. The prestigious statistics site Opta rates the Vietnamese women's team's chance of winning at 4.5%.
