Netherlands vs Morocco: Bet builder tips
Netherlands to score over 1.5 goals
The Netherlands played on the front foot in a fairly tricky Group F, scoring 10 goals across the three games and it should be the approach they take into the knockout rounds.
With an average of 3.3 goals per game so far and Morocco conceding two against Haiti and another versus Brazil, it feels more than reasonable that the Dutch breach the over 1.5 goals threshold in Monterrey.
Both teams to score
Two extremely impressive attacking outfits face off here with the pair scoring 16 goals between them in the group stage.
Both teams have scored in all three of the Oranje's games, with Scotland the only team not to find the net against Morocco so far. Even in the tense setting of a knockout tie, our experts think BTTS feels like a viable option.
Goal to be scored in the first 15 minutes
Fast starts have been a common theme at this World Cup and these two teams are no exception. A goal came in the first 15 minutes in Morocco's games against Scotland and Haiti, while it took them just 21 minutes to take the lead in their opener with Brazil.
The Dutch, meanwhile, netted in the first five minutes against both Sweden and Tunisia, so both teams have shown previous when it comes to early action. A slightly riskier pick, perhaps, but based on their form so far, a goal in the first 15 minutes looks a great way to boost your bet builder.
Netherlands to qualify for the Round of 16
Finally, and in line with our score prediction, we're going for Netherlands to qualify for the Round of 16, whether that be in normal time, extra-time or via the drama of a penalty shootout.
While Morocco have shown they are well capable of a deep World Cup run, the Netherlands have been one of the more impressive teams in this group stage and remain an outright winner contender to keep an eye on, with their talented squad impressing so far.
While it will be far from easy against the Atlas Lions, we think they'll have just enough to squeeze through.
