Competition: World Cup
Market: Netherland to be highest scoring World Cup team
Odds: 4/9 @ Betfair

Netherlands have set the World Cup alight with how many goals they’ve scored in this summer’s tournament. The Oranje have bagged 12 goals in their 5 games so far, putting them as the joint-highest scorers with Colombia.

However, the South American side are now out of the tournament and Netherlands are in pole position to finish as the top scorers of the World Cup as a result. Betfair are giving odds of 4/9 for the European side to add to their tally, considering they’ve averaged 2.4 goals per game.

They need just a goal from their semi-final clash against Argentina to top the scoring charts, and to keep their distance ahead of Germany & Brazil tied on ten goals each.

Arjen Robben and Robin Van Persie have both contributed to 50% of the Netherlands’ goals this World Cup, scoring three goals each. The Oranje averaging 14 shots per game in the tournament, 50% of which have been on target. And considering 11% of the Oranje’s chances have been coming from inside the box it’s clear why they’ve achieved such a high amount of goals scored.
