Free Prediction and Betting Tips for Netherlands vs Argentina

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Argentina to Win – 2.24

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Netherlands 0 Goal Handicap – 2.62

Argentina to Win

Coming into this match, Argentina have won eight of their previous ten fixtures, the same as the Netherlands. Moreover, the Albiceleste have lost just once in the 39 games played prior to this game.

Netherlands 0 Goal Handicap

The Netherlands are undefeated in 19 international games across all competitions. During that period, Die Oranje won 14 and drew five times covering the 0 goal handicap in all of those fixtures. Hence, we predict the Netherlands to cover the suggested handicap.

Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Netherlands vs Argentina

Netherlands

The first two nations to reach the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup complete the Friday evening program with a 2014 semi-final rematch. Up to 88,000 fans at the Lusail Stadium will be hoping that the Netherlands and Argentina don’t repeat their goalless encounters at the 2014 and 2006 tournaments, and it appears unlikely after both teams scored and conceded in their last 16 victories.

With their dominant 3-1 win over the USA, it came as no surprise that 71-year-old Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal bragged about his side’s “big chances” of winning their first World Cup trophy. There’ll be plenty of personal motivation for Van Gaal, who has previously stated that a World Cup title is the only remaining goal of his 30-year managerial career, as the veteran was in charge of the Dutch in their 2014 semi-final penalties loss to the Albiceleste.

Argentina

Argentina were made to work hard for their fourth quarter-finals appearance from the last five World Cups and can now formally put 2018’s disappointing round-of-16 exit behind them. The goal they conceded in their 2-1 victory over Australia last time out was registered as an own goal, so they can also boast that no opposing player has breached their defense in their three consecutive wins, with the Albiceleste now building momentum after a shock 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia in their group-stage opener.

The two-time world Champions have been in imperious form, particularly in the first 45 minutes, after accumulating 11 half-time leads from their 13 fixtures this calendar year (W11, D1, L1).

Netherlands vs Argentina Prediction

The 1978 final between these two teams won by Argentina always haunts the Dutch as they were missing Crujff their top player. However, Messi was on outstanding form in the previous three games and if he maintains those performances, there will be only one winner.
