Holland v Japan World Cup Odds: Van Persie Favourite To Score Opener

Holland will know that they will be up against a plucky Japanese side when they meet them in the second of their World Cup Group E matches to be played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban this Saturday. Nonetheless the bookmakers Bet365 make the Dutch huge 4/9 odds on favourites to win, with Japan not given any real chance of winning at 8/1 with the draw at 3/1.

Holland got off to a workmanlike start in their opening game against Denmark. Without playing to the level that we all know they can, they comfortably won by 2-0, courtesy of an own goal and one by the ever reliable Dirk Kuyt, which has put them in pole position in the Group. Japan of course also won their opener against Cameroon, a win that has done their confidence no harm at all. They will now be all out to at least get themselves a draw in this match, giving them an excellent chance of qualifying to the last 16.

Holland v Japan Betting Preview and Odds Comparison

There is plenty of speculation that the Dutch talisman, Arjen Robben will be back after injury and he has already been installed at 6/1 with bet365 to score the opening goal of the match. We think however that if he is declared fit he may only start on the bench and be used only if required, which is why we shall be backing either Kuyt at 6/1 or Van Persie at 10/3 in this particular market.

As far as the match is concerned we think that Holland will have too much ability to lose, but we also think that Japan will not be strong enough to take the points. They have some very useful players, particularly the CSKA Moscow star, Keisuke Honda, but overall they will not be able to take control of the match which is why we think Holland will win, possibly by a similar scoreline to the Denmark match. A 2-0 win for Holland for instance can be backed at 5/1 with Bet 365. Other Correct Score Betting Options are listed below.

As far as winning the World Cup outright is concerned, Holland have been receiving plenty of support in the market, where they are now available at 8/1 to win and around the 7/2 mark to make the final. A popular bet report bookmakers is the 16/1 about a Holland v Argentina final, which would be a repeat of the 1978 climax, which Argentina won by 3-1.
