Holland have some of the best players in the world in their side but they don't quite have the strength in depth of other nations.
Holland have often failed to make the grade at the major tournament despite the obvious talent they have on the field. If things come together for Holland they will be tough to beat and they could finally do justice to their World Cup odds.

Holland enjoyed a great qualifying campaign that saw them winning every game, although most were by narrow margins. that is still quite some achievement and they are one of the livelier chances from the bigger prices.

Holland are very likely to qualify from their group and pretty unlikely to reach the final which makes their stage of elimination either the second round, the quarter final or the semi final. It looks best to play it safe and go for the middle option of a quarter final exit, which seems to be pretty much expected judging by the Holland World Cup odds.
Back Holland's stage of elimination to be the Quarter Final
Holland have some top players but they don't quite have as much quality all over the pitch like some of the favourites in the World Cup Odds. A few injuries to their best players could be a disaster and the bookies seem to have Holland's World Cup Odds about right.
Wesley Sneider often scores from midfield for Holland and he will be a huge price to be the World Cup Golden Boot. All he needs is one or two goals and he will shorten massively, at which point you can lay off on Betfair for a profit.
Recommended Bet: Back Wesley Sneider to be Golden Boot winner and lay off on Betfair if he halves in price.
Holland have shown in qualifying and previous tournaments that they can score plenty of goals so the best Spread bet on Holland is surely to buy their tournament goals. If they get past the second round the final make up could be very profitable.
