Netherlands vs Denmark Predictions

• Netherlands are averaging over four scored goals per home game under Louis van Gaal.
• Denmark failed to win 78% of the prior friendly H2H meetings.
• The main selection won in five of Netherlands’ last six games.

A cracking friendly encounter

The Netherlands had to seal progression to Qatar 2022 in an empty stadium as lockdown restrictions remained during the last international break, though this friendly presents a great opportunity for fans to get behind their nation as they seek a confidence-boosting win over Denmark.

Denmark themselves have qualified for the showpiece event and will be buoyed by the return of talismanic midfielder Christian Eriksen, a great thing to see after the worrying scenes as he collapsed at EURO 2020.

Louis van Gaal has enjoyed a positive time in what is now his third stint as the ‘Oranje’ boss, with his side averaging 4.5 scored goals per home game during this reign. Moreover, the hosts have been kept off the scoresheet in just one of the last five H2H meetings.

Home advantage could be key

Despite the emotional context to this match for Denmark, we predict that the Netherlands will simply have too much for the visitors. With the return of fans and a buoyant atmosphere, we are going for Netherlands to score at least twice at a brilliant value price.

That could be all she wrote for this game, as we are going for a small stakes selection on a 2-0 home victory.
