Prediction published on 01/06/2017, 17:15  by | Modified on 04/10/2017 at 06:09 in Football Predictions

The Netherlands missed out on the European Championships last year and could well fail to make it to the World Cup next year. They are currently fourth in their group, three points behind the play-off positions. Their next qualifier is on June 9 when they host bottom of the table Luxembourg but after that face France and Bulgaria so they need to get their act together.. Before that they have this friendly against the Ivory Coast looking to build some confidence under new boss Dick Advocaat. They need it because the Netherlands have only won one of their last nine  home internationals. Ivory Coast currently top their group and look set to be in Russia next year. They are two points clear of Morocco but don't have another World Cup game until the end of August but have an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier later in June. They have only lost one of their last 17 games and won away in Russia in March.  It's hard to back the home side in this game and it's likely their new boss will do a bit of experimenting here. Go for both teams to score in this match.
