The Storyline
Netherlands is the favorite in Group E, which is one of the weaker groups around. They are joined by Denmark, Cameroon and Japan – three capable teams but no real World Cup threats.
Denmark is a decent team but outside of advancing past the groups stage, their goals aren’t that high. They simply don’t have the talent that some of the other Europeans team have and while they are capable of a surprise, they are not capable of a long run.
Who Has The Edge On Offense: Netherlands vs Denmark Betting
Holland will have the big edge on offense as Denmark is a defensive-minded team. Holland is has a number of stars in their squad, including Wesley Snejder, Arjun Robben and Robin Van Persie. Denmark will catch a break in this match as Robben will be out, but there will be plenty of other depth.
For Denmark, Nicklas Bendtner is the main man and the Arsenal striker is the keys scorer for them. The question is where else can the offense come from? This team is more interested in draws or 1-0 wins because they don’t have the firepower to compete with most teams.

Both teams are fairly strong on defense and this could very well end up as a 0-0 draw. Denmark doesn’t have much pop on offense and Netherlands is more than capable of shutting them down defensively. On the flip side, Denmark is a very defensive-minded squad and you can rest assured that their first goal in this contest will be the close things down on the back end, and then worry about moving forward. There won’t be much scoring in this match, so look for one goal to be the difference, if that.
Edge: EvenNotable Injuries – Netherlands vs Denmark Betting
The big injury in this match is Robben, who was hurt in a friendly and will have to miss this contest. Denmark could catch a break as he is one of the creators for the Netherlands, and they could really miss his presence.

This contest has under written all over it. Denmark is traditionally a defensive-minded squad and Netherlands is without Robben. On top of that, nerves should be a factor as both teams will take some time feeling each other out in their first World Cup contest.
Edge: Under 2.5Netherlands vs Denmark Betting Prediction & Outlook
The Netherlands has been rolling in qualifying and friendlies, but Denmark is no pushover. A win over Denmark would be encouraging one for Holland, but realistically, this contest looks like a draw. Denmark will be tentative going forward and they won’t give up many opportunities on the back end. Sports betting fans might consider betting a draw here.
