Everything seems to be going as planned for The Flying Dutchmen. What's left of Louis Van Gaals' men is to see off the already demoralized Qatari National team squad that has crashed out of the tournament. In line with the prediction of most punters, the spoils were shared in the Netherlands' second game of the tournament against Ecuador. Had Cody Gakpo's sublime strike not been canceled out by Ecuador's Enner Valencia 49th minute goal, Netherlands would have been the first team to cement their place in the round of 16. That feat can still be achieved if they make the most out of their chances in their game against Qatar to establish a superior goal difference.

( 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 ) A. Noppert, J. Timber, V. Van Dijk, N. Ake, D. Dumfries, T. Koopmeiners, F De Jong, D. Blind, D. Klaassen, C. Gakpo, S. Bergwijn.

Senegal's 3 - 1 victory over Qatar compounded the misery of the host nation, having lost their opening game to La Tricolor. The one-all draw between Netherlands and Ecuador confirmed Qatar's exit. Felix Sanchez's side felt they could salvage a point in their defeat against Senegal after Mohamed Mutari handed Qatar their first world cup goal to reduce the deficit. However, the hosts' hopes were dealt a huge blow when Senegalese substitute Banba Dieng finished off Senegal's victory with just about six minutes left to play. The Maroon will certainly play for pride in the last and final involvement of their team in the World Cup 2022.

( 5 - 3 - 2 ) M. Aissa, I. Mohamad, Correia, B. Khoukhi, A. Hassan, H. Ahmed, K. Boudiaf, A. Madibo, H. Al Heidos, A. Ali Abdulla, A. Afif.

The morale of the host nation is battered after losing their first two games of the World Cup. Apart from leaving the tournament with their heads high, The Qatari team has nothing to play for and as such, a (0 - 1) Handicap win for the Netherlands which is pegged at 1.45 odds in Betway is our first pick of the match.

The Netherlands has not failed to find the net in 24 out of their last 26 matches. The need for goal scoring becomes necessary if they have to maintain their position as Group A winners. An Over 2.5 goal is our second preferred market at 1.48 odds in the popular 1xBet sportsbook.

A half-time/Fulltime prediction at 1.53 odds in favor of Netherlands in Bet365 sportsbook is our third pick of the day. The Orange men will not leave decisions late when they take on the host. Louis Van Gaal's sermon will be "Get in there and Get it right as quickly as possible".
