Netherlands Football betting on the next Generation

Netherlands vs Italy

Conspicuous by their absence at Euro 16 and now looking like taking a break during the next World Cup, Netherlands fans are going through the mill right now.

The inventors of total football are in a transition period for sure. They need to win football games of course, but even more so they need to find the next pool of talent to drag them out of the mire.

But there’s no let up for Danny Blind’s team when they welcome the mighty Italy to the Amsterdam ArenA on Wednesday. They do have a chance to shine. Asian Handicap Betting gives you 2.00 on the Netherlands, Draw no Bet or 1.92 Italy Draw no Bet. And a win would be a big boost for the Orangemen.

A shock defeat to Bulgaria at the weekend has made qualification for the World Cup unlikely, but Blind is clearly trying to rebuild. He gave debuts to Wesley Hoedt and 17-year-old Matthijs de Ligt. The youngest Netherlands player since 1931 has only appeared twice for his club Ajax and had a torrid time against Bulgaria. But he is the future.

Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben need to pass the baton to a team with fresher legs soon, and in 6-foot-5 Bas Dost there is an attacking threat.

Make no mistake the hosts will be tested to the full by an Italy side in good form. Lazio’s Ciro Immobile was on target as Gian Piero Ventura’s men beat Albania to stay joint top of their qualifying group with Spain. And the evergreen Gianluigi Buffon made his 1,000th appearance between the posts.

I think this will be a well-fought contest and a draw is available at 3.05. The Netherlands desperately need a morale booster before their next game against Luxembourg, but nice guy though he is; Buffon has never been a man to give much away.
