Brazil vs Holland World Cup Betting Preview Pt 1

As the World Cup gets closer to its penultimate fixture, we still have the third place match to deal with and, while you get the feeling that neither side really wants to be here (Van Gaal has made that abundantly clear), it is still an opportunity for one team to end the tournament on a high. For Brazil, this has a lot to do with salvaging a little smidgen of pride still remaining after the absolute demolition they suffered at the hands of the fast-scoring German side that hammered them by a historic 7-1 margin in the semi-final match.

Holland were forced all the way to penalties by Argentina, who were able to maintain their composure in front of goal and progress to the final without missing a single penalty kick. The Dutch side missed two, including their crucial first, and it’s going to be interesting to see the type of side that the manager names for this one - will Holland genuinely go out there and attempt to dominate the match against a spirited Brazilian side? 

It remains a legitimate question. 

Right now, punters will find Brazil trading at as the unsurprising favourites with an 11/10 price tag to win the match in 90 minutes time. They still lack Neymar but will have Thiago Silva back and that should provide some of the much needed solidity that was lacking when they faced off against the Germans. David Luiz was left embarrassed in his opportunity to wear the captain’s armband. 

The Dutch side are an enticing 5/2 price to win the fixture in 90 minutes and that is likely to attract far more betting volume from neutral punters with a lot of them looking for value to build up their bankrolls ahead of tomorrow’s marquee match-up between Germany and Lionel Messi. 

The draw can be backed at 11/4 and that’s not a bad wager here when you consider how many matches have gone to extra time with a 0-0 scoreline so far. It has happened constantly throughout this tournament and it has led to plenty of exciting finishes - but the occasional dull 90 minutes.
