Holland v Cameroon

Holland have the perfect profile of a World Cup winner, they've managed to pick up six points without moving out of second gear. They are unlikely to need to get out of second gear to win this match but once they get to the knockout stages they will have to prove they have anything beyond second gear.

Cameroon have been very disappointing at the World Cup so far and after failing to get any points in two games they are out of the competition.

Holland v Cameroon Match Odds

Match betting is a massively popular market and the first market most punters choose to look at as your decision in this market is likely to impact all other bets you place on the game.

BACK HOLLAND TO BEAT CAMEROON

Holland may have won both of their games so far but they haven't been impressive. They have however been more impressive than Cameroon who look far too reliant on Samuel Eto'o, and since Holland have a very strong defence that is capable of keeping Eto'o quiet they can be quite confidently backed to beat Cameroon and gain nine points in their group.

Holland v Cameroon Asian Handicap Odds

The Asian Handicap is an interesting bet as it usually gives one team a lead that should be enough to cancel out any superiority the favourites for the game have.

BACK HOLLAND -0.75

Holland haven't looked like scoring too many goals so far at this World Cup but they also don't look like conceding so they should certainly be able to get a couple of goals in this match and that would be enough to make this a winning bet.

BACK HOLLAND 2-0 AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Holland have gone from being high scorers in Euro 2008 to being one of the lowest scorers from the successful teams in qualifying for the World Cup 2010. Maybe they have realised they need to be harder to beat and with just two goals conceded in qualifying they now have the tightest defence in Europe, perhaps the world, but they need to remember goals at the other end are just as important.

Cameroon also proved they can be good defensively, albeit against weaker opposition, in their qualifying campaign when conceding just two goals in six games in their group. The opposition was not up to this standard though and they could struggle to contain some of Holland's attacking talent.

On a bare reading of qualifying form you might expect this game to be 0-0 or 1-0 to Holland with two stubborn defences meeting in this match. Cameroon have been giving away goalscoring opportunities for fun so far and if they do that again Holland could get at least a couple of goals. Holland are already through and if they are looking comfortable they could just stroll to success so expect no more than two goals, which makes under 2.5 goals a good bet.

Holland v Cameroon Player Odds

Some of the most fun markets to bet on are the player markets, such as first goalscorer and anytime goalscorer. They are usually relatively big odds and can give plenty of reward if you pick correctly.

Holland v Cameroon Team News

Holland will be expecting their stars such as Robin Van Persie, Wesley Sneijder and Rafael Van Der Vaart to start this game and they have no major problems to report at the moment. As for Cameroon, they will need to be at full strength with the likes of Samuel Etoo in top fitness to give Holland a game here.

BACK DIRK KUYT TO SCORE FIRST AGAINST CAMEROON

Holland may have to work harder than in recent games for their goal in this match and as such it could go to the hardest worker in their team, Dirk Kuyt. He doesn't have a reputation for scoring goals for his club side Liverpool but he was Holland's top goalscorer in qualifying after playing in a more advanced position than he is used to at club level.

If Cameroon are to get amongst the goals then it seems inevitable that it will be the responsibility of their star striker Samuel Etoo. Unsurprisingly he was their top scorer in qualifying with nine goals, three times more than his nearest rival, so he is clearly the man for the job, or the bet in this case. Holland have a very tight defence and they should be able to keep Eto'o quiet.

Holland v Cameroon Half Time Odds

The latest tips that include the half time result in them, some of the most popular bets here are half time result and half time/full time.

BACK DRAW / HOLLAND IN THE HALF TIME / FULL TIME BETTING

This bet would have been a winner in both of Holland's games so far with the Dutch struggling to break teams down in the first half. They are unlikely to be busting a gut to win this with their qualification already determined so they may be happy to wait for their goals in the second half.

Holland v Cameroon Best Bet

BACK UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Holland no longer seem to be capable of being involved in a match with many goals in and Cameroon are hardly prolific themselves to backing under 2.5 goals in this game looks the right call and a safe bet.
