NETHERLANDS and Belgium will battle it out for top honours in Nation League Group A4 when the pair collide at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday night.
After putting in a professional performance to win 2-0 in Poland on Wednesday night, the Dutch have their fate in their own hands ahead of their final group game.
That win in Warsaw means Louis Van Gaal's side only require a point from their final pool fixture to stamp their ticket to the Nations League finals.
However, the Oranje's final Group A4 assignment cannot be taken lightly given that they will be coming up against a Belgium side currently ranked second in the world.
The Red Devils find themselves three points behind the Netherlands ahead of this crunch clash following a narrow 2-1 win over Wales on Thursday, on a night where my match preview yielded profit.
That victory means Roberto Martinez's men must score at least four goals in Amsterdam on Sunday night, but they certainly won't be fazed by the task in hand.
Outright Betting
Netherlands, who romped to a 4-1 win in June's reverse fixture, head into the return match as 11/10 favourites with Bet 365.
Despite losing just one of their last nine meetings with Netherlands, Belgium go into this bout as 2/1 (Bet 365) outsiders while the stalemate can be backed at 12/5 (Bet 365) with the same firm.
Betting Angles
Goals are usually on the agenda when either of these teams are involved and there is plenty of scope for a repeat here with Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals holding appeal at 20/21 with Bet 365.
The Netherlands have been a resurgent force under Louis Van Gaal, having avoided defeat in each of their 14 outings during the experienced Dutchman's third stint as national boss, scoring at least once on each occasion.
In fact, the in-from hosts have notched up a minimum of two goals in 10 of their 11 meaningful matches under Van Gaal's guidance.
That being said, both teams have scored in six of Netherlands' last seven matches, which doesn't bode well given that star-studded Belgium will have to throw caution to the wind from the off on Sunday night.
As already mentioned, the Belgians will have to score at least four goals if they are to rescue their Nations League campaign, and they will take confidence from the fact that they have made the net bulge in each of their last 47 matches.
Yet, while Belgian boss Martinez has a plethora of excellent attacking players to turn towards, his ageing defence perhaps represents their achilles heel.
The Red Devils' rearguard have recorded just three clean across their last 11 competitive contests, with BTTS punters pocketing profit in four of their five Group A4 outings so far.
Given that both nations contributed to breaking the Over 2.5 goal barrier when they recently met, coupled with the state of play in the section, I'm more than happy to support a high-scoring shootout in the Dutch capital on Sunday night by merging BTTS and Overs at 20/21 (Bet 365).
