Netherlands vs China prediction
Netherlands are proving to been everything that was expected of them so far at this World Cup. Offensive fluid and defensively stable, no team has been able to stop the juggernaut that is this squad of players. Next up for them is China, who are unbeaten themselves after four World Cup games, winning two and drawing two.
Despite this, China are not up at the same level as this Netherlands team. China’s defence is far weaker and that is backed up by the fact that they are yet to record a shutout in the competition. Netherlands are expected to expose China with their hugely potent attack, which should prove the catalyst to yet another Netherlands win.
