Why Bet on the Netherlands
The Netherlands was one of the candidates in this World Cup before it started, however, after the group stage, the numbers dropped. The ‘Clockwork Orange’ was not overwhelming as expected, managing to beat Senegal (2-0) with 2 goals in the last minutes, drawing with Ecuador (1-1) in a game they deserved to lose, and comfortably defeating Qatar (2-0), although they were not a rival that served to measure their level.
Cody Gakpo has been the figure of the team, scoring 3 of the team’s 5 goals. Frenkie de Jong has been the player in charge of running the team’s strings and he has done it very well. However, players who were called to stand out like Steven Bergwijn or Steven Berghuis have not done so and this has been evidenced in the team’s play.
Louis van Gaal knows that the team must improve and that is why in the three games he has made changes, especially in the offensive part, trying to find the right one.
Why Bet on the United States
The United States came into this tournament with a very good generation of young players and passed the first test: getting past the group stage. The North American team drew with Wales (1-1) and England (0-0) in the first two games, and then beat Iran 1-0 in the last game to qualify for the next round.
With only 2 goals scored, it is, together with Poland, the classified team that has scored the fewest goals so far, and it is an item that has to improve. Although we must also highlight the defensive solidity of the team since the only goal conceded was a penalty from Gareth Bale.
Christian Pulisic has earned his nickname of Captain America and has led his team, assisting Timothy Weah in the first game and scoring the qualifying goal against Iran. However, he was injured in that play and it is not known if he will be able to play against the Netherlands or if he will be 100%.
Final Betting Analysis: Netherlands vs. United States
The round of 16 of Qatar 2022 will open with a very even match between two teams that have conceded few goals and have very talented young players. Either way, we believe that the Netherlands is one step above the United States and their players are more seasoned in this kind of event, so they will be the winners.
At MyBookie.ag we find that the Netherlands is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -102, while the United States has +320 and the draw is at +230.
The last time these two teams met was on June 5, 2015, in a friendly that the United States won 3-4. That day Memphis Depay scored, and we also found several call-ups for this World Cup such as Daley Blind, Stefan de Vrij, or Berghuis, while in the North Americans we did find a different team.
Go for a straight win for the Netherlands in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -102, you will gain $98 for a total payout of $198.
