Netherlands vs Finland prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-10-11 16:00.
[p]The Netherlands return to the Johan Cruyff Arena at the top of World Cup Qualification (WCQ) Group G, but Finland could go level on points with them should they win here.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The Netherlands are now unbeaten in their last five matches (W4, D1), a run bolstered by a dominant win away to Malta on Thursday night (4-0). Ronald Koeman’s men have made light work of WCQ so far, netting an impressive 18 goals in their five matches while conceding only three. That sounds them out as hot favourites for this clash, but a home certainly isn’t a sure-fire route to three points for the Netherlands, who have only won three of their last six home internationals (D3), so have shown some signs of vulnerability on home soil. [/p]
[p]Finland have never qualified for a World Cup finals before, and it’s looking increasingly likely that record will remain intact unless they can produce a surprise result here. They sit third currently, on the same points as second-placed Poland, but with a worse goal difference and having played a game more. They did at least get a win under their belt on Thursday night against Lithuania (2-1), but that came at home, and they now hit the road where they’ve won just one of their last ten games (D2, L7). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The Netherlands haven’t tasted a H2H defeat since way back in 1950, winning ten of the 12 meetings since, including the reverse fixture 2-0 back in June.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]The Netherlands have scored 2+ goals in six of their last seven matches. [/p]
[p]The Netherlands haven’t failed to score in an Amsterdam-held international since October 2020. [/p]
[p]Only two of Finland’s last seven away internationals saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Finland failed to score in three of the last four H2Hs. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Despite a disrupted start to the international break which saw his arrival at camp delayed due to a stolen passport, Netherlands all-time scorer Memphis Depay picked up where he left off on Thursday with a third goal from his last two internationals. Oliver Antman netted the winner in Finland’s only away win across their last ten such games – none of his seven international goals have arrived earlier than the 35th minute[/p]
[p]The Netherlands have no fresh injury concerns. Finland will be sweating on both Adam Markhiev and Benjamin Källman, who were withdrawn through injury in Thursday’s win.  [/p]
