This game will be played at Al Bayt Stadium at 10:00 AM ET on Tuesday, November 28, 2022.
Why Bet The Netherlands:
✅ Qatar is the worst nation to grace the World Cup by a far margin. The hosts have a -4 goal differential over their two group stage matches and it could honestly have been much worse if their opponents finished more of their chances.
✅ Netherlands will be in a good position to cover the spread if they can find an early goal against Qatar. Something that looks likely after Cody Gakpo scored inside the first ten minutes in their match against Ecuador.
✅ Qatar are unlikely to see many goal scoring opportunities against the Dutch. The tournament hosts failed to register a single shot on target in their loss to Ecuador.

Netherlands
Building a lead and keeping their foot on the gas is the key for manager Louis van Gaal and his players against Qatar. They built an early 1-0 lead against Ecuador thanks to Cody Gakpo but immediately lost their grip of the game, allowing Ecuador to dictate the pace of play and equalize through Enner Valencia in the 55th minute. If it wasn’t for a disallowed Ecuador goal before halftime, the failure to control the game after their early go ahead goal could have spelled disaster for the Dutch.
The draw against Ecuador means that a draw against Qatar would guarantee a place in the Round of 16. However, Netherlands could use a blowout win to ensure the tiebreakers to finish top of the group over Ecuador should their Group A rivals beat Senegal in the other group stage finale. It will be interesting to see what type of Starting XI and strategy van Gaal employs for this match given the potential stakes, even if it is all but guaranteed they will make it to the next round.
Qatar
Qatar made sure their World Cup run as hosts won’t end without scoring a goal in the tournament, finding the back of the net through Mohammed Muntari in their 3-1 defeat to Senegal. Muntari’s goal made things momentarily interesting by bringing the match back to a one goal difference but Bamba Dieng quickly finished things off with an 84’ goal to give Qatar their second consecutive defeat by two goals.
The loss to Qatar gave the nation the unfortunate distinction of becoming the first hosts to lose two matches in the group stage of a World Cup. Ending any debates as to whether Qatar or 2010 South Africa were the worst of the worst when it comes to World Cup hosts.
Qatar has a chance to change the narrative with a big performance against Netherlands but the reality is the hosts are likely to defend for their lives for 90 minutes before calling it a tournament. The host nation has already conceded five goals and were well off the quality of their opponents against Ecuador and Qatar. Now playing an accomplished Netherlands squad, it will be interesting to see if Qatar can battle to keep it close or if they will lose by a lopsided cricket score in their final group stage outing.
