Netherlands vs. Qatar Prediction

• Where: Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar
• When: Tuesday, November 29, 6 local time

The Netherlands has a match point when it comes to their advance to the second stage, and all they need to do is to beat Qatar. The hosts are the first team in the World Cup to be eliminated, and that’s something they didn’t expect to see. Despite their solid performance against Senegal, the Qatari unit was blown into pieces in the end, and there was no way back for them. On the other hand, Oranje was disappointed against Ecuador, who outplayed them in the second half, but eventually, they still got one point.

Netherlands vs. Qatar Preview

Netherlands

Gakpo opened the game well, and it seemed that his team was going to post an easy win over the South American unit. What happened later was not so good for Van Gaal’s crew. At first, the officials canceled a goal for Ecuador, which was highly controversial, but even with that, the European side couldn’t keep its lead. 

Ecuador was a better team in the second 45 minutes, which was a surprise for many. The Netherlands allowed a goal early on in the second sequence and after that, began defending. 

Even with Memphis Depay in the lineup, things didn’t change, and the defense had problems keeping the balance and order ahead of the box. Indeed, we expected more from the Dutch team, who got what he wanted but without an impressive performance. 

Qatar

Being the first team to suffer an elimination is something that hurts not only the players but the fans and especially the head of the football association. The disappointment on the faces of all the high-ranking officials was pretty visible, yet, to be honest, Qatar didn’t deserve more.

The good thing is that they scored a goal, avoiding an even worse exit from the competition. Overall this team is very limited and without the talent to challenge average teams, let alone those at the World Cup.

The defense is sluggish, and the Senegalese attack netted pretty easily. On the other side, the offense is limited, and that goal scored was a product of the rivals’ mistakes and loss of focus.

Netherlands vs. Qatar Prediction

This is an easy one. The Netherlands aims for the top spot, and they will attack to score as many goals as possible and improve the goal difference to secure first place ahead of Ecuador or possibly Senegal. That’s why we pick the Oranje to win, and for those who want to boost the odds, we suggest taking the Netherlands to cover up a 1.5-goal handicap.
