NETHERLANDS VS JAPAN PREDICTIONS AND LATEST WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS
We had an awful lot of upsets yesterday so you can forgive a few punters from taking a few long-shot options for Saturday's action at the 2010 World Cup. I think English fans are still reeling from one of the worst displays in the better part of a decade.
Anyways, onwards and upwards and we've got the Dutch facing off against upstarts Japan in the opening fixture and you'll find Ladbrokes pricing the Netherlands at a slim 1.4 price to beat out Japan who are trading around 8.0.
The draw can be backed at a 4.3 price and I can actually see Japan sneaking something here- they certainly did it last time and if they can keep their shape and manage to frustrate the Dutch attack then I think they could certainly grind this one out.
After Friday, I'm tempted to believe that anything is possible .
The favoured correct score outcome is either a 1-0 or 2-0 result to the Netherlands at a 6.0 prie. A 1-1 draw is trading at 7.5 while a 2-1 result pays out at 8.5.
Japan to beat the Netherlands 1-0 pays out at 13.0 while a 2-1 result is priced at 21.0.
Dutch striker Robin Van Persie is the favoured goalscorer with a 1.61 price tag. This makes him the only player listed at an odds-on price to get a goal at any point in the match. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is trading at 2.37 alongside Dirk Kuyt.
Wesley Sneijder is definitely one to keep your eye on in midfield and he is 3.0 to get on the scoresheet at anytime.
The favoured Japanese players to score are Keisuke Honda and Takayuki Morimoto who are both trading at 5.0.
Personally, I think that Japan play a tricky sort of game but they will need to contain the Dutch offense. I think that Japan can make things difficult, but the Dutch should pull this one off.
