FIFA World Cup Betting Preview: Netherlands vs Japan

Netherlands take on Japan in this FIFA World Cup Group F encounter at Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium), with kick-off set for 16:00 on Sunday 14 June.

Don’t Expect a Goalfest

There are reasons to side with Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. Netherlands and Japan could fall short of the line and we really like the odds of -112 that are available for this pick.

Both Teams Won Last Time Out

Netherlands won their last game 4-0 and that was in the World Cup qualifier. This was recorded at Johan Cruyff Arena at home to Lithuania. The Oranje boasted an incredible 76% of possession and managed eight shots on target, while Tijjani Reijnders, Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simons and Donyell Malen bagged a goal.

Japan secured a home victory in their previous game. A 6-0 World Cup qualifying win occurred against Indonesia.
