Netherlands

Outlook

On the numbers, Netherlands (FIFA #7, 1758 ELO) are one of the stronger sides and a credible contender to go deep. Across 10,000 simulations of Group F, the model has Netherlands advancing 81% of the time, so they are strong favourites to advance from their group. These are statistical estimates and update as results come in, not guarantees.

Netherlands have won 5 of their last 10 matches (50% win rate), scoring 21 and conceding 10 (2.1 for and 1.0against per game). This recent form feeds directly into the model's prediction for every match they play.
