Netherlands To Win To Nil

Reason for tip

Netherlands thumped Sweden 5-1 in their second group fixture and they can secure top spot in Group F with a comfortable win over Tunisia who are already eliminated. The African side have had a miserable tournament, shipping nine goals in two games and scoring once. Things are unlikely to improve against the Dutch who can win without conceding in Kansas City.

Netherlands 3-0

Reason for tip

The Netherlands smashed five goals past Sweden on Saturday, and with Tunisia having shipped nine in their two outings, the expectation will be for the Dutch to put the Africa side to the sword. However, Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman may choose to rotate his line-up, while emphasising the need to keep legs fresh for the knockout stages. That could lead to a more conservative display from the Oranje who are fancied to win 3-0.

Cody Gakpo To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman has a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal and he may opt to ring the changes against eliminated side Tunisia with qualification already assured for the Dutch. However, Cody Gakpo has started both games in attack for the Oranje and scored two crucial goals either side of half-time against Sweden on Saturday. The Liverpool man was clinical against the Swedes and he looks a likely scorer against the group strugglers, whether starting or coming off the bench.

Dutch to secure top spot with minimum of fuss

The Netherlands were ruthless in their 5-1 win over Sweden on Saturday and should secure top spot in Group F with a comfortable win over Tunisia, who will head for home after losing their opening two matches.

The Dutch will be delighted to be such a position of power with their easiest fixture still to come and a win to nil looks the best way to back Ronald Koeman’s side in this match.

Tunisia have failed to score in four of their last five matches and they sacked head coach Sabri Lamouchi after their 5-1 defeat to Sweden on matchday one.

Replacement Herve Renard made little impact as his side were thumped 4-0 by Japan and more misery is likely to follow when they face the Oranje.

However, backing a more conservative outcome of 3-0 may be the way to go as Koeman could choose to ring the changes later on in the likelihood that victory is in the bag.

That could lead to a more disjointed display but there could still be opportunities for Cody Gakpo to continue his hot streak.

The Netherlands forward has started both matches at this World Cup, and if even if he is given a breather by Koeman, he could make his mark coming off the bench.

Gakpo has bagged four goals in his last three outings for the Netherlands and the Liverpool man seems to save his best performances for when donning the famous orange shirt.
