Dutch Coach Danny Blind has called up seven uncapped players to his squad in the run up to this week’s Netherlands vs England betting tips. Justin Kluivert, Hans Hatebour, Ruud Vormer, Steven Bergwijn, Marco Bizot, Gus Til and Wout Weghorst have all been drafted into the senior Netherlands squad for the first time. The Oranje are looking to secure their sixth straight win next Friday and they will be aiming to keep their fourth clean sheet in succession too.

Gareth Southgate has brought defenders James Tarkowski and Alfie Mawson into the England set-up for the first time, though there are no places for Manchester United defenders Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw. Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere returns to the fold while four Spurs players make the cut. Tottenham’s Harry Kane misses out through injury however, leaving the English squad looking light on options in attack. The Three Lions are looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven games next week.

Netherlands vs England Prediction and Betting Advice

Looking at the respective squads of the nations involved in today’s free Netherlands vs England bets, it’s clear that both countries are without the calibre of player they had in earlier generations. The English in particular, lack quality in every department, which means they generally enter matches against the better teams as underdogs. They haven’t beaten their Dutch opponents in their last seven meetings with them.

The Dutch are in fine form, winning eight of their most recent nine fixtures. They haven’t played in any fashion since last November, when they put three past a decent Romania side in Bucharest. Memphis Depay scored the first goal that day and the Lyon wide man has hit the net three times in his last four appearances for his country.

Southgate’s men have only won two of their last six away games, and those victories came against nations they would have expected to beat, Lithuania and Malta. The Three Lions have played four of their last five matches at Wembley, so they should find it much tougher again outside their comfort zone. We recommend you take the home win option using the prices at Betway. They are the best International Friendly match odds around and you won’t find better value at any of their competitors.

Regardless of the drop in quality of their squads in recent years, both teams under scrutiny in this week’s Netherlands vs England predictions are still capable of scoring in any given fixture. Danny Blind’s side have only failed to hit the net once in their last ten matches. That blank came in Paris against a rampant France outfit who ran out 4-0 winners.

The French were the only country from the Netherland’s last eleven opponents at home to stop them scoring too. Blind’s squad scored fifteen times in their last four home fixtures alone. However at the other end, they have kept only three clean sheets in their last thirteen on home soil. Those kind of stats will be music to the English players’ ears.

Southgate watched on as his players couldn’t score in their last two matches against Germany and Brazil, but those were the only two games in nine that they were unable to register a goal. Despite not having the best record against the Oranje, England have scored in each of their last four encounters with them. To close our international soccer predictions, we advise you back both teams to score. At Betsson, you’ll find the most lucrative odds around for that selection, so check them out while they are still available.
