World Cup 2022 odds: How to bet Netherlands vs. Qatar, pick
In both teams' third games, Group A will feature a matchup between the Netherlands and the host country, Qatar.
The Netherlands is one of 17 nations that has made the World Cup more than 10 times. However, despite its rich history, the Dutch actually failed to qualify in 2018. In 2014, they lost in the semifinals, and in 2010, they were runners-up to Spain.
This year’s squad features a host of talented players, headlined by one of the best defenders in the world in Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk.
Despite 2022 being Qatar’s first World Cup appearance, manager Félix Sánchez has a wealth of experience with the nation’s footballers. The Spanish native was a youth coach for Barcelona for 10 years before moving to Qatar in 2006. Since moving to Qatar, he coached the Under-19 and Under-23 teams before being named the senior side manager in 2017.
The Netherlands come into this game as heavy favorites.
So far in Qatar, the Dutch defeated Senegal 2-0 and had a 1-1 draw with Ecuador. The host country, on the other hand, has lost both its matches. Qatar fell 0-2 to Ecuador before losing 1-3 to Senegal.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre:
The Netherlands has struggled through the first two games, needing two late goals to beat Senegal and then getting outplayed by Ecuador despite a 1-1 tie. Netherlands has been outshot in both games - 15-2 against Ecuador! - and needs forward Memphis Depay to return to form to rejuvenate this offense. Depay has come in twice as a sub, but when he and Cody Gakpo are together up front, they’re difficult to stop.
Look for the Netherlands to rebound strong and then, with a two-goal lead, rest starters for the knockout stage.
PICK: Netherlands -2 (+105 at FOX Bet)
