Netherlands v Sweden Betting: Visitors to compound Dutch misery

While the Oranje need a massive win in order to reach the World Cup play-offs, Al Hain-Cole expects them to struggle to even beat Andersson's team

The will be hoping for a miracle when they welcome to the Amsterdam ArenA for Tuesday’s final World Cup qualifier.

Needing to win by seven clear goals in order to leapfrog their opponents into the play-off spot, the Oranje are available at 20/23 (1.87) with SportPesa to at least end on a high by coming out on top in Amsterdam.

Sitting just a point behind in second place, Janne Andersson’s team are priced at 29/10 (3.90) to give themselves a chance of automatic qualification with an impressive win here.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw when they met in Solna last September, and there are similar odds of 29/10 (3.90) on offer on them cancelling each other out once again in this one.

While all the talk going into this final clash of how impossible a task Dick Advocaat’s men face in order to snatch a place in the play-offs, their guests actually have a rather more realistic target to aim for.

Should France draw against Belarus in their final match then victory would see the Blue-Yellow to leapfrog them into first place, while an unlikely home defeat in Paris would mean a single point would also be enough to claim top spot.

Considering Didier Deschamps’ side were held to a 0-0 draw by Luxembourg in their previous home game, the Swedes will certainly not be contenting themselves with a mere play-off spot just yet.

In high spirits after racking up their biggest win in 79 years by beating Luxembourg 8-0 on Saturday, the guests certainly appear unlikely to roll over and allow Dick Advocaat’s outfit to claim any sort of convincing victory – let alone the seven-goal thrashing they require.

Instead, odds of 10/11 (1.91) seem to offer solid value on the Dutch saying goodbye to their World Cup dreams by failing to beat their confident opposition for the third encounter in a row.
