The Netherlands smashed Spain 1-5 in the first match in group B and they are full of confidence.
They have chance to qualify in the next stage if they win today. Manager Louis van Gaal have full squad available and want another win against solid Australia. In the attack will be attacking trio from the first match, Sneijder, Van Persie and Robben, and Australia’s defenders will have many problems.
Defender Ivan Franjic tore a hamstring in the match against Chile and he finished his participation on this World Cup. It will be additional worry for Australia and big problem to secure their net.
Australia played very solid in the first match against Chile and even deserve one point, but Chile cut them with the two early goals. Tim Cahill scored for 2-1 and they even have decent chances for 2-2 but they didn’t have luck and conceded third goal in the last minutes of the game.
The Netherlands is a big favorite to win this one and I expect an easy win with at least two goals difference.
Probable lineups:
Australia (4-1-3-2): Ryan; MacGowan, Davidson, Spiranovic, Wilkinson; Oar; Milligan, Jedinak, Bresciano; Cahill, Leckie.
Holland (4-4-2): Cillessen; Janmaat, Vlaar, De Vrij, Martins Indi; Blind, De Guzman, Sneijder, De Jong; Van Persie, Robben.
Australia vs Netherlands Betting Tip: Netherlands -1.5 Ah @ 1.73 (Bet365)
