Holland v Uruguay World Cup Semi Final Odds: Sneijeder and Robben Can Secure Dutch Win

Holland takes on Uruguay in Durban on Tuesday evening in what should be a hugely exciting World Cup Semi-Final. The Dutch, who defied all the odds by knocking out five times winners, Brazil, in the Quarter Finals, have been made favourites to reach their third final with odds of 4/6 from Paddy Power, while Uruguay are only given a 5/1 chance by the same Bookmakers.

The South Americans, although totally unfancied to get to this stage of the competition, have earned the plaudits with several solid performances but know that they rode their luck in desperate style with their victory on penalties over the dreadfully unlucky Ghanaians at the weekend. The illegal handball on the goal line however from striker Luis Suarez in injury time in that game has cost him an appearance in this match and it is his absence that might prove decisive.

Uruguay v Holland World Cup Semi Final Odds Comparison.

Without Suarez, Uruguay will have to pile more pressure on the outstanding Diego Forlan, who for many has been one of the outstanding players of the tournament. The former Manchester United striker, has scored three times already, but has also led his side with several inspirational performances and is sure to be backed by many to score a goal at some stage during the match , for which he is a 13/5 chance with Paddy power.

Although Holland were regarded as one of the better teams in South Africa, their were few who backed them to get to the final, but that is exactly where they will be should the odds of this match be confirmed. In fact the Bookmakers have not been too kind to the punters and only offer odds of around the 21/10 mark for them to win the World Cup outright. They are also 11/8 to meet Spain in the final and 13/8 to play Germany.

We think that this game will be a close affair and could well go to extra-time to decide the winner. The loss of Suarez is a big blow for Uruguay, but they have a very strong defence, from which to launch their counter-attacking football. However the strike power of the Dutch seems far more obvious to us and this is where we think they will prove superior. With Wesley Sneijeder, pulling the midfield strings and the ever present threat of individual magic from Arjen Robben, we think the Dutch will finish two goals better by the time of the final whistle.
