Oranje to squeeze past South Africa and reach quarter-finals
Following a goalless draw with tournament favourites USA the Netherlands knew they had a great chance of topping their group. It was an opportunity they grasped with both hands by delivering a 7-0 thrashing of Vietnam.
As a result, they now meet South Africa instead of Sweden. A surprise meeting was only confirmed after Thembi Kgatlana’s injury time goal gave her side a 3-2 win to qualify at the expense of Italy.
Odds on a Netherlands win are extremely short so for the first of our predictions, I am adding South Africa to score to that outcome.
The Banyana Banyana scored in each of their three group games and these two nations have met recently. The Netherlands came out top with a convincing 5-1 victory last year.

Netherlands hot shot looking to send her side roaring into the last eight
The runners-up from the last FIFA Women’s World Cup will be looking to Jill Roord to fire them to the final again this year. The midfielder has three goals to her name so far, hitting the back of the net in both her last two games.
Already with 90 caps and 24 goals to her name at the age of 26, when fit Roord is a guaranteed starter under Andries Jonker. The Wolfsburg star will be able to utilise her direct attacking style against the South Africans and will see this as an excellent opportunity to keep in touch with the top scorers in the competition.

Goals on the menu in an entertaining clash
South Africa have been the team to watch for entertainment so far in the Women’s World Cup. Twelve goals from their three group games with both teams scoring in all of them. In fact, their 2-1 loss to Sweden was the only game in which one side scored fewer than twice.
Expect that to continue here, especially against a Netherlands side who warmed up for this clash by hitting Vietnam for seven. This match represents an historic moment for the Banyana Banyana who lost all three matches after qualifying for their first World Cup at the previous edition.
The progress has been huge and it is guaranteed they will give it their all here in a game they really have nothing to lose. Goals were a feature when these two sides last met. A match which saw six in total.
