Netherlands vs Belgium Prediction and Betting Tips (25.09.2022)

Command Analysis

Netherlands

The Netherlands national team defeated Poland in the 5th Nations League group game (2:0). That victory allowed the Dutch to maintaim the leadership in Group D, but Belgium is just three points behind them. Louis van Gaal's men can't lose tonight, but a draw would take them through to the playoffs.

The Netherlands are undefeated in the current tournament. They won four games and were held to a draw once. Tonight, the hosts will be without several first-team players, for example, Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong are out injured.

Belgium

Belgium still has a chance of finishing top of the group. The Red Devils need a wide-margin and high-scoring victory, so they can have a better goal difference than the Netherlands. Roberto Martinez's men can't boast of a long winning streak. Recently, they suffered a defeat to the Dutch (1:4). Before and after that, the team didn't lose in four straight games.

Eden Hazard will lead the team in the upcoming game. The forward has been warming the bench in Real Madrid for quite a long time, but he definitely is very important for his national team. Hazard started against Wales a couple of days ago.

The opponents are on equal footing - both sides are in good form and have excellent performers in their ranks. The Belgians still have a chance of clinching the ticket to the playoffs, but they need a high-scoring win, so the team will go all out on offense. The Red Devils managed to crush Poland (6:1), but the Netherlands is a more tough opponent. In the last five games, the Dutch scored at least two goals.

Our prediction - total over 3.5 goals

2.29Netherlands to win

We give an edge to the Netherlands here. Belgium has a strong team, but many of the players are already over the hill, so the Red Devils don't have the same firepower any more. Louis van Gaal's side has been excellent recently, and we believe they will eke out a win here.

Second bet - Netherlands to win
