Holland v Denmark

This could be one of the best matches of the group stage at the World Cup 2010 but it could also prove a very tight game, with both these teams gaining group success built from solid defences.

Holland are clearly the more fancied team and they have been well backed to win the World Cup in recent weeks so they will be looking to win this game, likely to be thier toughest, to get their World Cup campaign off to a great start.

Holland v Denmark Match Odds

A bet on the winner of the match is always a popular one and gives you a bet that lasts right up until the final whistle. In competitive games like this there are good odds on both sides.

BACK HOLLAND TO BEAT DENMARK

Denmark could be Holland's strongest opponents in this group and are likely to give them a tough game. Denmark are a solid side but don't really have the stars and top players that will be required to break down Holland's tough defence. We don't expect an eacy victory but in what should be a tight game Holland should be able to emerge the victors and the price on Holland to win is more than fair.

Holland v Denmark Asian Handicap Odds

Asian Handicap is slightly different to regular match betting, usually one side is given a lead to make the game more equal, and therefore more competitive as a betting contest.

BACK HOLLAND -1

We fancy this to be a tight and competitive match but Holland should certainly win and although they will probably only win by the odd goal, this has more chance of being an easier win for Holland by more than one goal than it does being a draw or a victory for Denmark, which makes Holland -1 the most appealing of the asian handicap bets.

Holland v Denmark Goals Odds

Many bets can be placed related on how many goals there will be in the match so working out whether it will be high scoring or low scoring is usually a must before betting on the game.

Holland and Denmark Recent  Competitive Results

BACK A 1-0 WIN FOR HOLLAND AND UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Holland were not only the only team from the European qualifying section to win all of their qualifying games, they were also the team with the tightest defence, they conceded just two goals in eight games which is a quite amazing record. This shows they are extremely hard to beat as they are very tight defensively and very well organised.

Denmark won their qualifying group but scored the fewest goals out of the nine group winners proving that they are a tough side but not the most attacking team. They also don't have that world class striker who can score any half chance. It is very hard to see Denmark's attack breaking down Holland's tight defence.

Considering Denmark are not bad defensively and the team group winners who scored the second least amount of goals were the Dutch, you would have to think that this game is very likely to end up 1-0 to Holland in what looks set to be a guaranteed low scoring game.

Holland v Denmark Team News

Arjen Robben is only fit enough for the bench following his recent hamstring injury but with players such as Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Wesley Sneijder and Rafael Van Der Vaart on the pitch robben might not be missed too badly. There had been some doubts over the fitness of Nicklas Bendtner but he starts for Denmark.

BACK WESLEY SNEIJDER TO SCORE FIRST AGAINST DENMARK

Holland don't really have the out and out goalscorer they have had in previous World Cups, Robin Van Persie is probably their biggest goal threat and if he stays fit he is the most likely goalscorer in this match. He was injured for plenty of qualifying games which is why the most prolific goalscorer was Dirk Kuyt with just three goals. If Robin Van Persie is unable to break the dead lock then look at attacking midfielders such as Rafael Van Der Vaart or Wesley Sneijder Sneijder loves this big tournaments and has an eye for goal, he was top scorer for Holland at Euro 2008.

Holland v Denmark Half Time Odds

Your bets don't have to just be on what happens by the end of the game, you can bet on what happens by half time, in conjunction or not with the full time result.

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

We have already seen plenty of tight first halves at the World Cup so far and with Denmark conceding just one goal in the first half of their last six competitive games and with that stat in mind Holland's goal in this match is expected to come in the second half rather than the first.
