Tunisia vs Netherlands Tips, Predictions & 15/1 Bet Builder
Scott McGlynn
Tunisia wrap up their sorry World Cup campaign when they take on the Netherlands in the early hours of Friday morning.
A 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Japan saw Tunisia bundled out of Group F, while the Netherlands stormed to a 5-1 win over Sweden to put them top, and on the brink of qualification for the knockout phase.
Here are our three football betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Thursday night's clash in Kansas.
Tunisia vs Netherlands Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: Netherlands to win both halves
Although the Netherlands were quite cagey in their opening group game against Japan, they were imperious against Sweden.
For large chunks, it felt like a training ground exercise of attack versus defence, and four of the five goals netted by Oranje came from current Premier League players.
Tunisia, on the other hand, were torn apart by Japan, and they have shipped goals at an alarming rate — 14 goals across their past three outings if you include the friendly defeat to Belgium.
It was always going to be a tall order for Tunisia, who have joined Haiti and Turkey in exiting the tournament, and this game is about saving face. I think the Netherlands will cruise through this match, and the Dutch to win both halves seems inviting.
Tip 2: Brian Brobbey to score the first goal
Ronald Koeman refused to make wholesale changes to the side that drew with Japan, but Brian Brobbey replaced Crysencio Summerville, and it seemed a gamble.
However, bringing Brobbey into the fold proved an inspired decision, as the Sunderland frontman netted two goals in the opening 17 minutes against Sweden, representing the fourth-quickest brace in World Cup history.
More precisely, Brobbey’s opener, which was timed at 4:58, was the second fastest goal scored by the Netherlands from open play at the World Cup, with Phillip Cocu pipping him (3:59).
Brobbey is always on the move in and around the box, and he boasts plenty of physical presence. I have a hunch he will make a mark on this game, and Brobbey to break the deadlock represents good value.
Tip 3: Tunisia over 5.5 saves, Brian Brobbey to score the first goal & under 2.5 cards
Tunisia have been continually put under the pump, and the Netherlands have been piling on the attempts. It could be a tough evening for the Tunisian shot-stopper, and over 5.5 saves has legs.
Add Brobbey to your bet builder to make a significant contribution. After his fabulous two-goal showing against Sweden, he could light up this contest by landing the first blow.
Round off this treble with the cards market. Both sides escaped cautions in their previous outings, and this could be a clean game. The Under 2.5 cards line isn’t too fanciful.
