Wales vs Netherlands preview

Having enjoyed a euphoric triumph on Sunday evening, it is difficult to know how Wales will approach the game against the Netherlands.

The Welsh will want to give a good account of themselves, but the celebrations of their World Cup qualification will surely have impeded their preparations for the clash against one of Europe's most in-form national sides.

The Dutch have been in superb scoring form, netting 30 times in their last nine matches, and will fancy their chances against a team that will surely feel a little drained following the emotional high of their weekend win.

Wales have kept just three clean sheets in their last 10 matches and could be in for a tough night against a strong Dutch forward line.

Wales vs Netherlands tips and predictions

The visitors can be backed at 11/8 (2.38) to score in both halves and this looks like an excellent value option, while backing the Netherlands to score over 1.5 goals at 8/13 (1.63) looks a strong selection.
