Netherlands will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of Nations League Group A4 when entertaining basement dwellers Wales at De Kuip.
The Dutch claimed a dramatic 2-1 win when these teams met in Cardiff last week and another entertaining encounter is anticipated in Rotterdam.
We reckon 1.95 for a home victory and over 2.5 goals is worth support with our first Netherlands vs Wales prediction.
Netherlands Odds
Netherlands began their campaign with a brilliant 4-1 away win over Belgium and then edged out Wales following a wild finish.
Rhys Norrington-Davies equalised for the Dragons in the 92nd minute but there was still time for Wout Weghorst to snatch a decider.
Holland will be disappointed not to have made it a hat-trick of wins when drawing 2-2 with Poland at this venue on Saturday.
The Dutch fought back from 2-0 down via goals from Davy Klaassen and Denzel Dumfries, but Memphis Depay hit the post with a late penalty.
Midfielder Frenkie de Jong told UEFA: “I think in the end, it’s a bit disappointing, because at home you always want to win.
“We had opportunities at the end but the spirit in the team and the way we fight to come back is really positive.”
Depay will be determined to make amends and 3.8 for him to break the deadlock in a home win stands out from the Netherlands vs Wales odds.
Wales Odds
Wales can be forgiven for 2-1 defeats by Poland and the Dutch either side of a World Cup play-off win over Ukraine.
The Dragons picked up their first point when rallying late on to draw 1-1 with Belgium in Cardiff over the weekend.
Ethan Ampadu had a superb early strike ruled out by VAR due to an offside in the build-up and Gareth Bale went close after good work from Dan James.
Youri Tielemans then put the Red Devils in front on 51 minutes but Brennan Johnson calmly slotted in a late leveller with his first international goal.
Nottingham Forest youngster Johnson described it as “the best feeling I’ve ever had” and hailed the Welsh spirit.
He added: “Ukraine was a really hard game but we showed how tough we are to get through some tough periods in the game and we’ve done the same today.”
A draw was well deserved, as Wales had created a number of decent chances throughout that open contest.
We feel 3.1 for a home win and both teams to score is worth adding to our Netherlands vs Wales betting tips, along with 8.5 for a repeat of that 2-1 triumph for the Dutch in Cardiff.
