Netherlands
Netherlands are all but through to the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup after collecting four points from their opening two matches.
Another Easy Three Points for Oranje?
They go into their final group game of their World Cup schedule needing just a point to make sure of qualification to the knockouts. In their opening game in Qatar, the Dutch picked up a 2-0 win over Senegal.
They were made to work hard for the points, with Cody Gakpo’s opener not coming until the 84th minute. Davy Klaassen’s 99th-minute effort completed the job in Doha.
Holland went into matchday two looking for another three points. However, they were held by a strong Ecuador outfit at Khalifa International Stadium.
Gakpo netted the opening again, this time after just six minutes. However, in-form striker Enner Valencia leveled for the Ecuadorians shortly after halftime.
Van Gaal’s
As we touched on, a draw will be enough for Holland. However, with so much talent in their squad, Van Gaal’s men should get the win and move on to seven points.
Holland has only lost their final group game at a World Cup once before, and they will surely be too strong for Qatar here. Keep reading for the latest Netherlands vs Qatar odds.

Qatar
Getting out of Group A was always going to be a tall order for Qatar. After their loss to Senegal, the Qataris became the quickest host nation to be eliminated from a World Cup.
Another Defeat for the Host Nation?
They have also conceded the joint most goals as a host, with South Africa also shipping five in 2010. The Maroon kicked off the competition with a disappointing loss to Ecuador.
The occasion certainly got to the inexperienced players, as Valencia scored twice before halftime to take the game away from the hosts.
Qatar followed up the Ecuadorian defeat with another loss on matchday two. Senegal was too good in Doha, though Mohammed Muntari did half the deficit with 12 minutes remaining.
However, the Senegalese scored again to secure a 3-1 victory at Al Thumama Stadium.
Unwanted History
Qatar is hoping to avoid unwanted history on Tuesday, but they are the massive underdogs with the bookmakers.
Holland is one of the tournament favorites and has looked good at times in Qatar. Unfortunately for Felix Sanchez and his boys, we can see the Maroon falling to yet another Group A defeat.

- Meshaal Aissa Barsham
- Pedro Miguel Carvalho Deus Correia
- Abdelkarim Hassan
- Homam Ahmed
- Boualem Khoukhi

Netherlands vs Qatar Pick and Prediction
This will be the first-ever meeting between the nations. As we said, Netherlands has a 100% record against Asian teams at World Cups, winning the previous three and scoring 11 goals along the way.
Despite all the controversies surrounding the tournament, Qatar has been a great host so far, and games involving the Qataris have produced some superb goals and incredible atmospheres.
Qatar will no doubt make the most of their last World Cup match, but Holland should ease past the Asian nation on Tuesday.
You can get decent betting odds of -150 for the Dutch to be winning at halftime and full-time. We also like the look of +140 for Netherlands to win -2.
FIFA World Cup Pick: -2 (+140)
