2022 World Cup Betting Picks & Predictions: Netherlands vs. Ecuador
Netherlands (1-0-0) v. Ecuador (1-0-0) [11 a.m. EST]
The Netherlands got two late goals to get a clutch victory from a respectable opponent, while Ecuador showed that they are really good when taking control of a game. This has all of the feels like it will be a repeat of the last game that the Dutch played, with them needing a big goal to get all three points out of this one. The first half should be extremely tactical for both sides, and while I do think the Netherlands will likely win, their performance last time out was far from inspiring enough to play this matchup at – money. The best bet for me here is for a 1H Draw +105. I wouldn’t be opposed to a sprinkle on the 0-0 first-half exact score, but I like the value of this play.
Bet: 1H Draw (+105)
