Netherlands vs Ecuador Preview & Prediction

The Netherlands passed their first big test in convincing style against Senegal in the opening match of their group stage, winning 2-0. They left it late but goals from Cody Gakpo & Davy Klaassen in the final 10 minutes of the match confirmed victory.

The Dutch have an incredible record in the group stages at the World Cup, but generally don’t perform as expected in the latter stages of the tournament. They haven’t lost a group stage match in the previous 14 attempts, which includes seven consecutive victories. They enter the slight favourites at the strong price of $1.80 with bet365.

Similarly, Ecuador also came away with a 2-0 triumph in their first match against hosts Qatar. Fenerbache’s Enner Valencia bagged a brace, most notably a tidy header that nestled into the far post. However, this will be their first test against world class opposition, so, we’ll be able to see if they are less offensive against a more well-known footballing nation.

The winner of this tie will almost certainly confirm their qualification, not only that, but it will surely mean they top the group. Ecuador has never defeated the Dutch in the previous two meetings, and have only won three of their last 13 matches, all coming against opposition with a lower FIFA ranking than themselves.  

VERDICT:

Although Ecuador were dominant against Qatar and unlucky not to win by more, I don’t see them coming away with anything from this clash against the 8th ranked Netherlands. (Best Netherlands win odds @ $1.80 with bet365.)
