Netherlands vs England prediction
Netherlands are now four from four over the course of this tournament following their latest valuable win, a 3-1 triumph against India. Provided they maintain their unbeaten World Cup campaign vs England, then semi-final qualification will be theirs as the world number two maintain their march towards a fourth world title.
However, England aren’t going to go down quietly and they’ll give Netherlands a huge run for their money. Whilst draws have been at a premium during the competition, when you take into consideration the ability of both these teams in and out of possession, we could well see a scenario where the pair cancel each other out here, so backing a draw represents a shrewd move.
Netherlands vs England tip: Draw
