Betting Advice
Wesley Sneijder has been struggling with injuries of late, with Blind going very Premier League heavy with his squad. Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has been in form lately and should feature, with Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen included after finding his goalscoring touch in domestic action lately.
Bulgaria have been very strong at home in this qualification campaign, which should lead to the Netherlands being unable to entirely avoid taking damage during their latest away trip on their long road to the World Cup. Conceding looks likely, and therefore Both Teams To Score looks good value with BetVictor at odds of 1.91.
