Belgium v Netherlands Betting Preview – Women’s Euro 2017 24th July

It is all pretty tight in Group A of the Women’s Euros as all four teams have a chance of getting through. Host nation the Netherlands are in the driving seat having won their opening two matches though because they just need a drw to seal top spot. But if they lose, they could be knocked out. Belgium are only guaranteed a place in the next round with a win, but a draw could be enough to squeeze them through as long as Denmark don’t beat Norway in the other group match.

Belgium v Netherlands Betting Tips

Belgium have to produce a victory in this one to ensure that they get through to the quarter finals. It doesn’t matter what the scoreline is, they just need to win. After suffering a 1-0 opening defeat against Denmark, they bounced back very well to beat out the experienced Norway. That was a very good response from Belgium who are making their Euro’s debut. Now they move on to a tough task of taking on the hosts, the Netherlands. A draw could get Belgium through to the next round as long as Denmark don’t win their match against Norway. If Belgium loses this then they may be alright if Denmark lose by a margin of one or two goals. So there’s plenty of different things going on for qualification and Belgium are underdogs here.

Between Belgium and the Netherlands, there have been ten previous competitive games. From those ten previous meetings, the Netherlands are well up with a W7 D2 L1 record against the Belgians. The two were paired together as recently as the 2015 World Cup qualifiers and that produced a draw in the Netherlands and then an away win for the Dutch. You have a price of 9/10 at bet365 on under 2.5 goals and there has to be a degree of caution around for both in this one. Overall these two neighbours have met 25 times including friendly game and the Netherlands hold the advantage with a W18 D4 L3 record from that.

The only loss the Netherlands have taken against Belgium competitively was all the way back in 1982 in qualification for the first ever Women’s Euro. Host nation the Netherlands have taken 1-0 victories over both Norway and Denmark in the group, so they have been edging their way forwards. A Netherlands 1-0 correct score at bet365 should have a decent amount of appeal in this one at a price of 5/1. Another option for your betting would be to have a look at the Netherlands to win to nil at a price of 7/5. Lieke Martens is 8/5 in the anytime goalscorer market and after an injury, she was back in training this week. It is Vivianne Miedema who is the 7/6 outright favourite. A draw wins the Netherlands the group, but if they lose and Denmark win then the hosts could be out.

Draw: Both will know that a defeat puts them in peril and therefore it is worth expecting a draw in this one. That suits the hosts, the Netherlands as it will win the group for them. Belgium will be sweating if that happens, which is very likely.
