Football – Europe – World Cup Qualifier Betting Tips

Undoubtedly the pick of the Tuesday night World Cup qualifiers fixtures is between Netherlands and Sweden in Group A, but this match is unfortunately a virtual dead rubber as Sweden have already captured the potential play-off spot over their hosts.

Netherlands sit in third place in Group A, but despite a late surge which saw them win three of their last four in these group qualifiers, it’s been too late for Dick Advocaat’s team as they’ll miss out on the finals in Russia 2018.

Advocaat was left with egg on his face in a recent interview where he dismissed Sweden beating Luxembourg 8-0, a result which has meant the Dutch crash out of qualification. The recent wins over Luxembourg, Bulgaria and Belarus though, show that the Dutch are very capable of claiming the three points here this evening.

Visitors Sweden have claimed second spot and a potential play-off spot, but could conceivably overtake Group A leaders France, if they manage to record a win in Amsterdam in tonight’s encounter, and France lose at home to Belarus.

With France almost certain to beat Belarus, the Swedes will have to make do with second place, but they’ll probably need a result of sorts to keep them in the hunt for one of the best eight second-placed teams after the group fixtures have ended.

Although Sweden have performed well at home, they’ve struggled for the same consistency on their travels as their away record of  2-0-2  8/5 shows, with defeats at France and Bulgaria showing  their vulnerability.

I therefore believe Netherlands will finish stronger than Sweden, to end their campaign off on a high note.
