Netherlands vs Qatar. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 World Cup

Netherlands national team was considered the main favourite of their group before the start of the World Cup. Louis van Gaal's team ended up in the group Qatar, Ecuador and Senegal, clearly weaker opponents. In the first match the Oranges secured a 2:0 victory over Senegal. Despite a comfortable final score, it was an incredibly difficult game for the team. Dutch side scored the first goal at 84th minute. 

In the second match the Netherlands faced Ecuador. Cody Gakpo opened the scoresheet pretty quickly, scoring his second goal of the tournament. But after that, Holland had only one shot on goal in almost 90 minutes of play, while Ecuador tried constantly to break through opponent's defense and were eventually rewarded. Match ended in a 1:1 draw, a fairly positive result for both teams. 

Qatar national team had a long preparation for a home World Cup tournament. But without official matches it proved to be tough for the Maroons to gain form for the competition. In the first match Qatar suffered a 0:2 defeat to Ecuador without many chances to turn things around. 

In the second round Felix Sanchez Bas' team provided a better performance, but still failed to deliver a positive result. The Maroons scored the first goal with a score at 0:2, but intrigue didn't last long. Senegal team scored one more goal and cruised to a 3:1 victory. Now Qatar have no chances for a play-off spot.
