Dutch looking to end Greece’s perfect start

Greece have enjoyed a fantastic start to their Nations League bid with a pair of wins in Serbia and Germany, but they could come unstuck against a Dutch outfit they have historically struggled against on Thursday.

The Netherlands have won nine of the last 11 meetings between these two sides. Previous results are generally not that relevant when it comes to international betting and these teams have only met twice in the last decade, but when one side has been so dominant it is hard to ignore.

Greece enjoyed slices of fortune in both of their wins over Serbia and Germany. They needed two late goals to turn the game around in Belgrade, and spent most of the game defending against Germany but managed to grind out a 1-0 success.

The Netherlands look to have hit the ground running under new manager Xavi after a draw with Germany and a 2-1 win over Serbia. They were unfortunate not to beat the Germans and could have won by a bigger margin against the Serbs, and those performances suggest they should have too much for Greece.

Clean sheets have been an issue for the Dutch as they have gone 10 games without conceding. Greece are a touch side to break down and have only lost two of their last eight games, with both of those losses coming by one-goal margins. As such, a 2-1 win for the visitors has a chance in the correct score market.

AZ Alkmaar striker Mexx Meerdink scored both of the Netherlands’ goals against Serbia, including one from the penalty spot. Meerdink has three goals in seven games for his club this season in the Eredivisie and can follow up his performance against Serbia with an anytime effort against Greece.
