Tip and bets

1.84Netherlands to win

Hosts will probably rely on Erling Haaland's offensive skills, but most of the time they will play defensively, in an attempt to break the visitors' offense. Netherlands national team have an advantage on class, line-up and experience. In our opinion, Oranges will easily pick up three points and break away from their opponents.

Our prediction - Netherlands to win

Do you agree with this bet?

1.96total over 2.5 goals

Offensive potential of the visitors is very high - in ten most recent matches Oranges scored 24 goals, they failed to score only in the match against Czech Republic. Norway have Erling Haaland up front, he is able to create a goal out of nowhere, so he is dangerous for any team. Visitors will probably dominate the game, but Lions will have a chance to score as well, so we offer a bet on a high score.

Our second bet is on total over 2.5 goals
