Netherlands vs Scotland Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Ian John | in Football Predictions
The Netherlands host Scotland in Amsterdam on Friday (7.45pm kick off) seeking to continue a run of three successive wins, each without conceding a goal. The Dutch's strength seems to lie in defence where Ronald Koeman can call upon the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Nathan Ake, Matthijs de Ligt, Denzel Dumfries, Jeremie Frimpong, Micky van de Ven and Sven Botman to name a few. The Dutch have been drawn into Group D with Austria, France and one of the playoff winners from Path A, who could be Wales, Finland, Poland or Estonia. They will be keen to bounce back after a disappointing performance in the Nations League playoffs on home soil, where they lost to Croatia and then to Italy to finish 4th. Since then, they have won five of six, with their only loss a home defeat to France.
Steve Clarke's Scotland will be delighted to have qualified for another Major tournament but after starting the Group Stage with five wins, the Scots then went five games without a win, losing one and drawing two of their last three group stage games, plus losing two friendlies to England and France (3-1 and 4-1 respectively). The Scots will kick off the tournament with hosts Germany in the first match of Euro 2024 and this game is a key preparation for that. The Scots did draw their last game with the Netherlands back in June 2021, a 2-2 draw in Holland, which ended a run of four defeats at the hands of the Dutch, in which the Scots failed to score a goal. They look well more capable of finding the net in this game given their recent goalscoring exploits.

Our Netherlands vs Scotland Prediction
Netherlands vs Scotland will be an interesting match up and certainly not as one-sided as some of the most recent games between the two have been. The Dutch have found form again after a very disappointing Nations League showing and Scotland bounced back from a run of three defeats to draw their last two. Both teams can score goals and I feel it is likely both will do in this friendly game, but our prediction for Netherlands v Scotland is for the Dutch to run out narrow winners but both teams to find the net.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
