Group E of the Women's World Cup (WWC) is turning out to be a tight contest, with Portugal securing their first-ever WWC finals victory by defeating Vietnam 2-0. This win has put them in contention to progress to the knockout stage, and they now have a chance to make history by qualifying with a victory against the USA, or even with a draw if Vietnam manages to beat the Netherlands.

Portugal's recent form has been encouraging, with only one loss in their last five official matches, which includes a goalless draw against European champions England. They will approach the match with cautious optimism, aiming to bridge the 20-place ranking deficit against the top-ranked USA.

For the reigning champions and four-time WWC winners, the USA, a draw in the final group game would be enough to secure their place in the last 16. Despite their impressive H2H record against Portugal, they are not taking anything for granted, especially after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in their previous outing. The USA's history in the WWC group stage is in their favor, having lost only once in this stage in 2011 against Sweden.

Interestingly, this situation is somewhat unfamiliar for the USA, as they have never failed to reach the WWC knockouts, and they are not used to being under pressure on matchday three. However, coach Vlatko Andonovski remains optimistic, believing that his team will improve as the tournament progresses.

As the teams face off, keep an eye on players who have been making an impact for their respective teams. Portugal will look to Telma Encarnação to provide them with a strong start, as she has opened the scoring in two of their last five official matches. For the USA, Lindsey Horan's goal-scoring prowess has been evident in three of their last five games, including both fixtures in this tournament, with her goals coming after the 60th minute.

With both teams aiming to secure their place in the knockout stage, the match promises to be an exciting and closely contested encounter. Seems like the underdogs are the way to go at this tournament.

女足世界杯(WWC) E组的比赛势均力敌，葡萄牙队以2比0击败越南队，首次获得女足世界杯决赛的胜利。这场胜利使他们有机会进入淘汰赛阶段，他们现在有机会通过战胜美国来创造历史，如果越南能够击败荷兰队，他们甚至可以打平。

葡萄牙最近的状态令人鼓舞，在最近的五场正式比赛中只输了一场，其中包括与欧洲冠军英格兰的一场0比0战平。他们将以谨慎乐观的态度对待这场比赛，目标是缩小与排名第一的美国队之间20个名次的差距。

对于卫冕冠军和四次世界杯赛冠军美国队来说，在最后一场小组赛中取得平局就足以确保他们进入16强。尽管他们在对阵葡萄牙的比赛中取得了令人印象深刻的战绩，但他们并不认为任何事情都是理所当然的，尤其是在上一场对阵荷兰的比赛中，他们1:1战平了对手。美国队在世界杯小组赛阶段的历史对他们有利，在这个阶段只输过一次，那就是2011年输给瑞典。

有趣的是，这种情况对美国队来说有些陌生，因为他们从来没有在wc淘汰赛中失败过，而且他们不习惯在第三比赛日承受压力。然而，教练Vlatko Andonovski仍然保持乐观，相信他的球队会随着比赛的进行而进步。

当两支球队面对比赛时，要注意那些对各自球队产生影响的球员。葡萄牙将指望Telma encarna<s:1> <e:1> o为他们提供一个强劲的开局，因为她在最近的五场正式比赛中有两场率先得分。对于美国队来说，林赛·霍兰(Lindsey Horan)的进球能力在最近五场比赛中的三场都很明显，包括本届锦标赛的两场比赛，她的进球都是在第60分钟之后。

由于两支球队都希望确保自己在淘汰赛阶段的席位，这场比赛注定是一场激动人心、势均力敌的比赛。看来在这场比赛中，弱者才是正确的选择。
