The wait is almost over for the WC action happening on Saturday as Netherlands play against Sweden.
Our Netherlands v Sweden predictions, statistics and match poll can be seen below - along with the latest match odds.
Netherlands will play in this game after a 2-2 WC drawn match vs Japan.
In that match, Netherlands managed 60% possession and 10 shots on goal with 6 on target. For Netherlands, the scorers were Virgil van Dijk (50') and Crysencio Summerville (64'). Japan had 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Keito Nakamura (57') and Daichi Kamada (88') scored for Japan.
It’s been all too rare in recent times where Netherlands have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Netherlands have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 6 goals on the way.
Sweden will go into this match following a 5-1 WC win with the downing of Tunisia in their last game.
In that game, Sweden had 49% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. For Sweden, the goals were scored by Yasin Ayari (7', 96'), Alexander Isak (30'), Viktor Gyökeres (59') and Mattias Svanberg (84'). Tunisia had 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Omar Rekik (43') scored for Tunisia.
Sweden have had no problems opening up opposition defences leading up to this encounter, having scored 15 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Graham Potter will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Sweden can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same clashes. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, however.
The previous league match between these sides was WC Qualifiers - Europe match day 10 on 10/10/2017 when it ended Netherlands 2-0 Sweden.
That day, Netherlands had 69% possession and 21 shots on goal with 8 on target. Their only player to score was Arjen Robben (16', 40').
For their opponents, Sweden got 5 shots on goal with 2 on target.
The match was refereed by Sergei Karasev.
In our opinion, Netherlands will likely be able to score a couple when they play Sweden, who will be up against it finding the net themselves.
Our selection here is for a controlled 2-0 winning score for Netherlands when all’s said and done.
Checking on the latest odds for this match in the full-time result market, a victory for Netherlands is best priced at 1.67, a wager on a drawn result is 3.9 and taking a punt on a win for Sweden gets you 5. They’re the best of the returns on offer at the moment.
