France vs Netherlands

France hosts a Dutch team rebuilding after failing to qualify for the last World Cup or last Euros. The French are a super team and World Cup winners and were the best team for me as well as deserving winners in Russia 2018. The French are a side that tends just to do enough in matches but they will have their stomach full with this Dutch side. The Dutch started favourites at home to England prior to the World Cup in a friendly. They beat Portugal too prior to the World Cup 3-0 in Portugal and drew 1-1 with Italy in Italy so they are no mugs. They have some excellent players in Van Dijk and Wijnaldum both of Liverpool as well as the highly rated De Ligt of Ajax, this also have Kevin Strootman of Marseille who went for £25 million from Roma this summer and Memphis Depay who plays for Lyon and finished 3rd highest scorer in the French league. For me, I make them a bet, I think they are a decent defensive unit, they have no World Cup hangover to deal with and they are probably a fresher team that the French who played a competitive match only last Thursday away in Germany, I am taking the Netherlands on the +1.25 line.

Bet: Netherlands +1.25 @ min odds 1.82
