Soccer World Cup Play: Netherlands vs. Costa Rica

***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***

Unlike the others 7 teams left in this competition, Costa Rica is the only team that will bring a deliberate defensive approach to the field. This has been the way they have been playing in this World Cup w/ a tremendous success, and obviously, I don’t think this will change for this contest.

Their defensive coverage has been impeccable and their 5-men defensive line has control every single game so far while being placed deeper in the field. This could cause tremendous problems to this Dutch team.

It might sound strange but IMO, the Dutch attack is far from being "that" impressive in this World Cup even though they have scored 5, 3, 2 and 2 goals in their games. Note that most all their goals have been scored via deadly counter-attacks… Arjen Robben is a “monster” in this type of plays! The problem is that the Dutch won’t have much space to counter-attack against the packed Costa Rica’s defensive line who will sit deep, so I expect Netherlands to struggle offensively.

On the other end, Costa Rica will attack w/ few men and I expect the Dutch defense to do a good job. NT’s coach Van Gaal has turned his team into a great defensive team – something not usual w/ the Netherlands’ teams of the past.

My fair line for this contest is 2-Goals line and therefore, we are getting some nice value w/ UNDER in here = DOUBLE DIME PLAY!

Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on Under 2.5 Goals @ -125 / 1.80 on Betonline
