The Netherlands and Israel will clash in Pool D of the 2026 WBC on Tuesday night. Team Netherlands bounced back from their opening-day defeat, beating Nicaragua 4-3 to book their spot in the 2029 edition. However, the 12-1 blowout loss against the Dominican Republic on Sunday all but ended their hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds. Still, they’ll want to finish this tournament strongly with a 2-2 record.
Like the Dutchmen, Team Israel will also come into this matchup with a 1-2 record. They started their campaign slowly with an 11-3 loss against Venezuela before bouncing back to defeat Nicaragua 5-0. However, they suffered a 10-1 loss against the D.R. on Monday, ultimately ending their campaign this year. The Israelis hope to gain valuable experience from this year’s event and return stronger in 2029.

Our Netherlands vs Israel Prediction
Both teams have qualified for the next edition of the WBC. However, the stakes are still high on Tuesday night, with each side eying the No. 3 spot. The Netherlands will come into this game as the betting favorites, thanks to their superior form. They gave the Venezuelans a run for their money in Game 1, although they had to leave it late to defeat minnows Nicaragua. The Netherlands also has a superior head-to-head record, defeating Israel in their last two matches. Israel doesn’t particularly start their games strongly, losing 4-0 in the first inning against Venezuela and 5-0 in the second inning against the D.R. The Netherlands should capitalize on this weakness before Team Israel grows into the game. We expect them to hold off the Israelis on Tuesday.
Our prediction for the Netherlands vs Israel: Under 8.5 runs.
