Netherlands v Wales betting tips: Dragons aim to end Dutch duck

Not your average Joe

Joe Rodon’s club and international career remains a case of chalk and cheese.

Rodon failed to make a single Premier League start at Spurs last term, and has made just 15 top-flight appearances (seven as substitute) since joining from Swansea in October 2020.

Bale, a former Spurs team-mate, has questioned that lack of game time. It is a different story on the international stage as Rodon has been majestic for Wales.

Dutch delight

Holland have been on a roll since their Euro 2020 round-of-16 exit to the Czech Republic last summer.

Former Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal has overseen an 11-game unbeaten run since starting his third spell in charge in September.

Despite being held 2-2 by Poland in Rotterdam on Saturday, Holland top the group with a three-point lead at the halfway stage.

A home victory is just 3/10 but for a bigger price in Netherlands v Wales betting tips, a Dutch win and over 2.5 goals at 10/11 looks more appealing.

They would have beaten Poland if Memphis Depay had not missed a late penalty and the former Manchester United man is 12/5 to help make amends with the opening goal.

Netherlands v Wales head-to-head

To say Wales have a poor record against the Netherlands is an understatement.

Holland’s last-gasp 2-1 victory in Cardiff on Wednesday thanks to Wout Weghorst’s header made it nine wins from nine games for the Dutch.

Those victories include four in World Cup qualifying, ahead of the 1990 and 1998 tournaments, and the goal count is a whopping 26-6 in Holland’s favour.

The hosts are 20/23 to win by more than one goal and 15/8 to win both halves. They are also 19/20 to be leading at both half-time and full-time.

Team news

Wales will be without midfielder Joe Allen after he suffered a hamstring injury against Belgium.

Goalkeeper Danny Ward (knee), Joe Morrell (broken toe) and Rhys Norrington-Davies (suspension) have also not travelled to Rotterdam.

Page has already lost Kieffer Moore to injury while Ben Davies and Connor Roberts came off against Belgium through fatigue and may get a breather.
