Netherlands vs Argentina
I am betting the Netherlands +0.25 here as well as under 2.25 goals to be scored in what could be a classic match world cup match, the Dutch play in a counter attacking style where they defend in numbers and then look to counter which goes against their natural total football game that we have become used to seeing them play. This tactic of counter attacking worked perfectly against the USA who a bit like South Korea v Brazil played straight into the Dutch hands, Argentina will of course not be caught the same way however they won’t sit back either, they play on the front foot, so this way of playing for the Dutch should suit for this game. One thing not been talked about is that Argentina’s matches have been much more severe than the Dutch who feels like they have coasted to this part of the tournament, Argentina had to beat Mexico, they had to beat Poland, of course they had to beat Australia and I think this is something that could catch up on Argentina and not factored into the markets. Team news is also against Argentina Papu Gomez and Angel Di Maria both doubts and it just feels like there are a number of factors against Argentina here so betting the cautious Dutch to get the better of them in a low scoring game.
