The Netherlands' women's team will clash with Brazil in the second group game of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Preview

Preview The Netherlands and Brazil women's soccer teams will go head to head on Saturday at the Tokyo Olympics at the Miyagi Stadium as they look to secure their place in the knockout stage of the competitions. Both sides have started on a good note and will be looking to keep the momentum going and secure a place in the knockout stage.

The Netherlands' women's team got off to a strong start to their Olympics campaign with a 10-3 win over Zambia. Sarina Wiegman's side looked a real force in their victory and should be confident heading into the clash against Brazil on Saturday. Arsenal star Vivianne Miedema scored four times with Barcelona's Lieke Martens hitting a brace. Van de Sanden, Lineth Beerensteyn, Lynn Wilms, and Jill Roord scored the other four goals.

Sarina Wiegman's women have been tipped among the favorites and will look to leave up to the tag. In their last 10 matches, they have recorded seven wins and three losses. They approach the clash with Brazil hoping to get their third win in succession. Nevertheless, the South Americans will come into the game looking to extend their run that has seen them go unbeaten in their last five games.

They opened their Tokyo 2020 campaign with a dominant display that earned them a 5-0 win over China. The legendary Marta contributed two goals to the raid, becoming the first footballer - male or female - to score in five consecutive Olympic games. Pia Sundhage will trust the six-time FIFA World Player of the year and the rest of his charges to help them get the better of a strong Netherlands side. Having lost just one of their last 10 matches, they should be confident in their bid to get a favorable result.

Netherlands and Brazil have met in friendly games in their last two matches. Both games ended in goalless draws, with their last meeting coming in March 2020.
