Belgium News and Form
The Red Devils took a good 2-1 win at home over Switzerland on Friday to leave themselves in a strong position to win their Nations League group (as expected). They are on a strong four-match winning streak at the moment so are ticking over nicely. They have won eleven of their last twelve games (L1) and they have such hot form running. They have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven and so over 2.5 goals is at 4/6 odds* (betting odds taken on October 14th, 2018 at 9:53 pm). This is probably going to be a chance for them to rest some of their key players you would imagine. Belgium are W7 D2 in their last nine home fixtures. They are on a six-match scoring streak against the Dutch.
Netherlands News and Form
The Netherlands produced a big 3-0 win over Germany in the Nations League over the weekend. That was a good response from them having lost against the French already in the group. The Netherlands are now W2 L1 in their last three games and that is W3 D2 L2 in their last seven played. They have had a rough couple of years but there has been a slow and steady improvement under Ronald Koeman. The Netherlands are W4 L1 in their last five home games (competitive and friendly) so that is a pretty solid return from them. The Dutch have scored in each of their last six games and have only failed to net in one of their last thirteen games. So both teams to score is well worth a punt at 8/11 odds* (betting odds taken on October 14th, 2018 at 9:53 pm). Avoiding defeat could be another good step towards their overall recovery.
Belgium v Netherlands Head to Head
The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw the last time these two met which was a 2016 friendly. Belgium are undefeated in their last seven games against the Dutch but have come up with just the two wins and five drawn matches in that sequence. Both teams have scored in all but one of the last six meetings.
Belgium v Netherlands Predictions
Belgium to win: The Red Devils look good enough to back fairly comfortably in this friendly against the Netherlands. The Dutch had a big moment on the weekend and are improving, but Belgium have far more match winners than they do. Home win.
