Tip and bets
Netherlands national team put up an underwhelming performance, but still managed to get the three points. The Oranges are probably more relaxed now, because a mistake won't be too costly here. We are expecting a strong attacking performance from the Netherlands. Ecuador is a good team, but we don't think that they will get any points today.
Our prediction - Netherlands to win the match
Netherlands are clear favourites of this game - the Oranges have the ability to earn the three points even when things are going not so smoothly. After a victory the Netherlands will be more relaxed in a game against Qatar. It should help the Dutch team to provide a solid offensive performance and get the three points.
Our second bet is on Netherlands to win by two goals
