Both teams score? No
Second betting tip: Both teams do not score — No. Although the Netherlands possess an expansive attack capable of producing multiple goals, their defensive record in the qualifiers has been impressive (only three goals conceded). Finland have scored in some fixtures but their away record shows one win, one draw and one defeat, and they can be contained by disciplined defensive organisation that Koeman’s side can deploy. For those seeking a conservative secondary selection, predicting that Finland fail to score is reasonable given the Netherlands’ form and home advantage. Best available odds on this market: Both teams to score – NO at 1Win 1.48.
Over 2.5 Goals
Third betting tip: Over 2.5 goals. While the second tip anticipates a Finnish shutout, the third selection accepts the possibility of a high-scoring contest in favour of the Netherlands. The Dutch side has demonstrated finishing proficiency and an inclination to press forward, which can produce multiple goals. Finland, despite defensive shortcomings, have shown they can find the net in certain fixtures, and their matches have sometimes been open. Combining the Netherlands’ scoring frequency and Finland’s occasional attacking threat, an Over 2.5 goals selection captures the potential for an emphatic Dutch win with several goals on the board. The odds for this market are 1.43 at Paripesa.

Statistics for Netherlands vs Finland
Netherlands team news!
Coach: Ronald Koeman. The Netherlands top Group G with 10 points from four fixtures, compiling three wins and one draw with a goal tally of 14:3. At home in qualifying they are unbeaten: one win and one draw. Recent overall form across all competitions shows three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five matches. Their latest fixture produced a 3:2 away victory against Lithuania, indicating offensive potency but also minor defensive lapses which Koeman will be keen to address before the meeting with Finland. Selection decisions are expected to favour experience and attacking continuity, with an emphasis on controlling possession and exploiting wide areas.
Finland team news!
Coach: Jacob Friis. Finland sit third in Group G with seven points, having won two, drawn one and lost two of their five qualifying outings, with an aggregate goal record of 6:8. Away from home they have one win, one draw and one defeat in qualifying, indicating resilience but inconsistency. Their recent form across competitions reads one win, one draw and three defeats in the last five matches, and their most recent game ended in a 1:3 away loss to Poland. Friis will need to prioritise defensive organisation and set-piece resistance while attempting to extract counter-attacking opportunities from the Oranje. Squad rotation and pragmatic tactics may be employed to frustrate the hosts.

Conclusion
On balance, the Netherlands are clear favourites for this Group G clash at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. They lead the group, boast a superior goal difference, possess home advantage, and hold a perfect recent head-to-head record against Finland. Ronald Koeman’s side combine attacking prowess with sufficient defensive discipline to control the match and are likely to impose their tempo. Finland, managed by Jacob Friis, arrive with fighting spirit but inconsistent form and a negative goal balance that suggest an uphill task. Accordingly, the principal recommendation is a home win for the Netherlands with a correct score 3-0, supplemented by the selections that Finland will not score (Both teams score? No), and Over 2.5 goals as outlined above. These combined views reflect both the expected dominance of the hosts and the statistical patterns evident from recent form and historical results.
