Belgium vs Netherlands Bet Builder Tips: Friday June 3rd

Tom Winch

The Nations League is underway as many sides begin their preparations for the World Cup. Friday’s game is the pick of the bunch as two footballing giants go head to head. I’ve put together a bet builder for this clash in my preview for bettingexpert News.

Friday night sees Holland travel to the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels as Roberto Martinez’s side host the opening game in the UEFA Nations League between the two sides in what should be a fantastic encounter.

The most recent meeting between these sides was in 2018 at the same venue which saw both sides score in a 1-1 draw, with the attacking quality both sides boast it’s no surprise the goal line is 2.75.

Kevin De Bruyne despite commenting negative thoughts about this competition there’s no doubting his quality on the field, the Belgian recorded 15 goals and 8 assists in 30 Premier League appearances across the 2021/2022 campaign. His shot statistics for both club and country in recent months have been superb and he will be my first selection for my bet builder.

The 30 year-old registered multiple shots in all of his World Cup Qualification appearances and will be at the forefront of the Belgium attack given his stature. I believe the Manchester City star will register a shot on target.

Another standout is Memphis Depay, the Barcelona forward is never afraid to have an attempt at goal when playing for his national side. Across the 28 year-olds 10 appearances for the Netherlands in World Cup Qualification he had a massive 5.8 shots on average. Alike Kevin De Bruyne I’m confident that Memphis will also manage a shot on target within the 90 minutes.

It’s certainly difficult to see a lack of goals in this fixture given the quality set to be on show therefore adding both sides to score into the mix is an angle I’ll be getting behind in Belgium on Friday night.

BTTS is available at 1.61 on a variety of bookmakers. However, adding the individual player shot on target selections sees this bet builder priced at 2.87 which seems a great bet to me via Bet 365.

Kevin and Memphis will be the players to watch given how they perform for their respective countries and it won’t come as a surprise if at least one if not both find themselves on the scoresheet in Brussels tomorrow night.

Either nation will be confident they can top the group which also sees Poland and Wales amongst the sides in Group 4. The pressure may be on the Belgian side a little more after failing to win a trophy with their ‘Golden Generation’ in recent years.

Belgium vs Netherlands Stats and Facts

Louis Van Gaal and Roberto Martinez have faced each other on the touchline five times as Premier League coaches, the Dutchman has the much better record in the H2H standings which has seen his side win four of those five
It’s Belgium once again who trail the Dutch in the all-time H2H meetings, 55 wins for Holland whereas the Belgians have won just 41 with 31 draws in that time but that will mean next to nothing once this game gets underway
These nations have not played a competitive game against each other since the 1998 World Cup which ended goalless
The Netherlands have lost only one of their last 17 matches
Belgium have won only two of their last six matches. It’s their worst run of form over six games since 2012.

In what should be a great watch getting onside with the goals and the star men in the shot markets I feel we can’t go wrong, five of the last six meetings since the year 2000 have seen both sides score.

The hosts look far stronger in terms of going forward than they do at the back although Thibaut Courtois will relish another action-packed clash if he does appear. Holland have plenty of talent all over the field and will for sure fancy themselves to pick up a solid result.

Generally, neither side has too much trouble in finding the back of the net in International fixtures, Belgium scored 25 times in just eight World Cup Qualification matches whilst the Netherlands smashed in 33 goals in only 10 games.

With Kevin De Bruyne and Memphis Depay expected to feature, the bet builder should go all the way and have a great chance of landing.

Odds via bet365 are correct as at 8:30 on June 3rd 2022. Odds may now differ.

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?

A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
