Having failed to qualify four years ago, the Netherlands World Cup 2022 odds show that they are expected to make amends with a bold showing in Qatar.
The Oranje have had several near misses among 10 previous appearances at finals, finishing as runners-up for the third time in 2010 and then claiming third place at Brazil 2014.
Holland got the better of a fierce battle with Turkey in qualifying, with Barcelona winger Memphis Depay playing a leading role in that success by scoring 12 goals.
Louis van Gaal came out of retirement to take charge of the Dutch national team for the third time following a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign and knows what it takes to shine at a World Cup tournament, having led them to the semi-finals eight years ago.
