In a friendly match the Netherlands and Scotland will face each other. The game is scheduled for March 22. We are going to tell in what conditions the teams come to the game, as well as suggest what is better to bet on.
Netherlands
The Netherlands team, as expected, had absolutely no problems qualifying for the final phase of Euro 2024. The team has an excellent squad, and second place in the group with 18 points in eight qualifying rounds is a wonderful result. Only the French were above, with seven victories in eight games. We highlight that the Dutch have five wins in the last six games, and in three of the last ones they did not concede goals. In the last match, the Netherlands defeated Gibraltar 6-0.
Scotland
The Scotland team also travels to Germany for the next European Championship. For many, this situation was quite unexpected, since the group also included the very strong Norwegian team, but the Scots managed to overcome it. In eight rounds, they accumulated 17 points and came in second place, while the Norwegians came in third with only 11 points. It is important to note that after a series of five consecutive victories, Scotland has slowed down: in five games in a row they have not been able to win. In the last match, they tied 3-3 precisely against Norway.
Data to take into account
- In the last 5 games, Scotland have conceded goals in the second half;
- In the last 3 games involving Scotland, both teams have scored goals.
Betting and predictions
The betting house experts rightly consider the Netherlands team as the clear favorite in this match. After all, the difference in class between the teams is undeniable: the Dutch have many more stars in their squad. They have also looked splendid in the last few games, having achieved five wins in six. On the other hand, the Scottish team has not known victory in five games in a row, so it is far from being at its best. Furthermore, we must not forget that the match will be played in Amsterdam, where the hosts will be obliged to delight their home crowd with success.
Our prediction: Victory of the Netherlands and total plus 1.5 with coefficient 1.81;
