Punters get odds of 1/20 at bet365 Sports on Germany to win and 3/10 to cover the -1.5 goals spread.

The Dutch have spent a lot of time outside the big football stage and are desperate to return to the spotlight. They won’t settle for a narrow margin victory even though they play on the road and instead will try to win by two goals or more. 888 Sport offers odds of 3/20 on a straight win, while the value to even odds on the Netherlands to prevail by at least three goals.
