FIFA Women’s World Cup Quarterfinal: Spain vs Netherlands Odds
Two Contenders Face Off
Spain Coming Off Huge Win
Spain’s last Women’s World Cup group stage match finished in a demoralizing 4-0 loss to Japan. La Roja bounced back masterfully and defeated Switzerland 5-1 in the round of 16.

In a quarterfinal match between two contenders, we’ll take a look at the Spain vs Netherlands odds.
FIFA Women’s World Cup
Spain vs. Netherlands
Date, time:
Head-to-Head
The Netherlands hold just a 2-3-5 record vs. Spain all-time. Spain have won all three meetings of the past decade. This is the first opportunity to bet on Spain vs Netherlands odds in the Women’s World Cup and the first major tournament meeting overall. These teams last played in 2021, when Spain picked up a 1-0 victory in a friendly.
Spain Back on Track
- FIFA Women’s World Ranking: 6
- Group Stage Standings: 2-1, 2nd Group B
- Round of 16 Result: 5-1 W vs. Switzerland
Spain started off the group stage excellently. They picked up 3-0 and 5-0 wins vs. Costa Rica and Zambia, respectively. They, along with Japan, were one of the first two teams to clinch a spot in the round of 16, with six World Cup points through two matches. Then, things fell apart, albeit temporarily. La Roja fell 4-0 to Japan in their group stage finale, leaving a bad taste in their mouths heading into the knockout stage.
The loss appeared to have motivated Spain, as they destroyed Switzerland 5-1. Aitana Bonmati led the way with two first-half goals, and Spain coasted the rest of the way. It was their first-ever win in a round of 16 match. Now, they aim for their first-ever semifinals appearance and are among the favorites to win the tournament.
Although they’ve never even made the final of a major tournament before, Spain currently show +350 odds to win the Women’s World Cup. Bonmati, Alba Redondo and Jennifer Hermoso all have three goals apiece and are in the Golden Boot race. Punters should also note that Spain have won 15 of their last 17 matches.
Beerensteyn Returns for the Netherlands
- FIFA Women’s World Ranking: 9
- Group Stage Standings: 2-1-0, 1st Group E
- Round of 16 Result: 2-0 W vs. South Africa
The Netherlands finished on top of their World Cup group, with seven points through three matches. They defeated Portugal and Vietnam and drew with two-time defending champions USA. The 2019 finalists entered the round of 16 with a ton of confidence, following the 7-0 group stage win over Vietnam.
After missing the final two group stage matches, forward Lineth Beerensteyn return for the match vs. South Africa. Manchester City’s Jill Roord scored her fourth goal of the tournament in the round of 16 match. Beerensteyn doubled the Netherlands’ lead in the second half as they won 2-0. Goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar was stellar and made save after save.
In one of the most exciting World Cup matches today, the Netherlands now face off vs. European foes Spain. The Oranje have conceded just eight times in 13 matches over the last 12 months. With Beerensteyn back, the Netherlands now have more offensive firepower.
Match Analysis & Odds
In their first major tournament meeting, the Spain vs Netherlands odds price La Roja as 0.5-goal favorites. Currently, Spain -0.5 sits at -115 flat. All three of Spain’s wins so far at Australia and New Zealand 2023 have come by a multi-goal margin. Meanwhile, the Netherlands have lost just one of their last ten matches at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Spain also show -115 odds to win the match in 90 minutes, while the Netherlands are +320 moneyline underdogs. Spain have been excellent offensively so far, with 13 goals through four matches but struggled in their only other match vs. a top side. The Netherlands have conceded just once so far and it’ll be difficult for La Roja to break down the Oranje defense.
Under 2.5 goals appear likely, but at -145 odds, it’s not a great value bet. Bettors interested in alternate lines may want to take a look at Netherlands as a pick’em. There, they’re priced at +180 odds. A draw, which would mean extra time, stands at +260 odds for this quarterfinal matchup.
