Live on BBC1: Sat 21.00: We have two selections in the Netherlands’ World Cup clash with Costa Rica including a 15/1 shot (BetVictor).
In the last of the quarter final battles, surprise packages Costa Rica are tipped to finally bow out of the tournament, Coral rating them at 8/15 to lose to the Netherlands in normal time in Salvador.
Los Ticos are 7/1 with Boylesports to stun Louis van Gaal’s team and 10/3 at Betfred to force extra-time but this one could be a step too far for the Central Americans.
Betway go 8/1 about a 2-1 success for the Dutch, who are 29/20 (Ladbrokes) to be in front at the end of each half but the margin of victory might be a touch wider in light of the Netherlands’ ruthlessness on the break when tiring teams attempt to put them under pressure.
BetVictor quote the Europeans at 6/4 in the handicaps, when starting a goal in arrears, the same firm chalk a tempting 15/1 against the Dutch running out 3-1 winners and Arjen Robben can be backed at 9/2, this time courtesy of bet365, to net first.
Coral meanwhile, mark 16/5 against van Gaal’s men prevailing but both teams finding the net.
Recommended Bets:
Netherlands to win and both teams to score – 16/5 (Coral)
Netherlands to win 3-1 – 15/1 (BetVictor)
