The Netherlands are dark horses for World Cup glory this summer and will be out to fine tune their preparations in tonight's Rotterdam friendly with Algeria.

A German economist who has used his statistical model to successfully predict the winner of the last three World Cups thinks the Dutch will come out on top this summer.

But I've got a feeling the lack of a top-class centre forward will stop them from hitting those heights and it will be interesting to see how they get on against an Algerian side also gearing up for the finals.

Netherlands vs Algeria top betting tips

Since losing to Sweden 4-3 in a friendly last June, Algeria's only defeat in 16 games came when Nigeria knocked them out of the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

They drew 0-0 with Uruguay in their last friendly so the Algerians could be a tough nut for Ronald Koeman's side to crack.

The Dutch are unbeaten in their last 14 though so it's easy to see why they're 19/50 favourites with Bet365 tonight.

With Algeria shutting out Uruguay, I'm going to go for a Netherlands win with under 3.5 goals at 6/5 with the same firm. Under 2.5 goals on its own could also pay off at 43/40.

DR Congo vs Denmark

Denmark are surprise absentees from the World Cup this summer and find themselves providing the friendly opposition as DR Congo gear up for the finals.

It's just the second time the African nation have qualified and they could reach the knockout stages if they manage to beat Uzbekistan and avoid heavy defeats against Portugal and Colombia.

Tonight's clash with the Danes in Belgium gives them a test against quality opposition ahead of the finals and Bet365 make them 19/4 outsiders.

DR Congo have avoided defeat against African giants Senegal, Nigeria and Cameroon in the last year so could offer some value in the double chance at 5/4 with Bet365.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in four of their last five so that bet also appeals tonight, although the price isn't great at just 4/6.

Poland vs Nigeria

Nigeria and Poland have both been World Cup regulars but they'll be crying on each shoulders in tonight's friendly after missing out on qualifying for this summer's festival of football.

Both managers will probably use this game to experiment a bit and the Super Eagles are missing star men Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.

The game is being held on Polish soil in Warsaw so the home win appeals tonight and it pays evens at Bet365.

I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of goals in this one as each set of players will be dreaming of their summer holidays after a long club season.

That makes under 2.5 goals a good option again, although the odds are poor once more at 8/11, while betting against BTTS is 4/5. Combining those bets boosts the odds to 11/10.
