Summary: Doubts were raised about the quality of this Dutch side in the lead-up to the tournament but their perfect record in the group stage seems to indicate they’re a lot stronger than many critics believed. Perhaps it’s worth looking at what they can do on the park rather than what they can’t – and eight goals in three games says they’re a free-scoring machine. It was said they needed to find support for Memphis Depay in attack and it’s been the unlikely figure of captain Georginio Wijnaldum – usually a stay-at-home midfielder – who has struck three goals in the last two games. That all bodes well for progress against a Czech side who battled gamely in their group but were ultimately lucky to sneak through to the knockout stages. Their sole win came against Scotland but they then looked outclassed against Croatia and England. It’s all Oranje for the punters and rightfully so. Score Prediction: 3-1 Netherlands ($12)

The Netherlands are riding some wonderful momentum that should continue here, even allowing for a minor defensive hiccup.
