    International Friendlies 15-16/8

    in Other International Predictions

    Posted

    Re: International Friendlies 15-16/8 I think the same as a lot of people about this match:

    Sport Football (Internationals)
    Event Rep. of Ireland - Netherlands
    Selection Netherlands
    Strength 10/10
    Date 16/08/2006

    Reasoning Even though I normally don't bet on friendly international matches, this is too good value to go by! We have the side from Ireland, who is missing Shay Given (Newcastle), Duff(Newcastle, former Chelsea) and Keane(Tottenham) as the biggest profiles. These are players that can make or break a game for their clubs, and even more so on their national team, as it is not as well-equipped with players as the premierleague clubs. Besides these players they are also missing other players from their starting lineup, but they still have Stephen Carr who has come back recently from an injury. Still I don't think they have any of the power or drive they would have had with the 3 profiles that are out of this match! Netherland has dropped one of the best centerforwards in the world, his tally of 17 goals in 26 games in the premierleague says it all. This would seem a stupid idea to many, but they've taken in young striker Huntelaar, who's been absolutely smashing in his games for Ajax, against FCK he showed how poisionious he can be to a defence, with two goals on just 2 chances. He was outstanding, I expect him to be wanting to secure a spot for the next cup, the European cup! Flanked by Robben and Van Persie I think he'll have a good chance of nicking a goal, if not more. Generally I'd say Netherland has too much class, and I give them a 55 % chance to win this match, giving a betvalue of 121 % Happy punting! :)
    Will be interesting to see Huntelaar on the seniorteam, people say he didn't play that well in the u21 cup, yet he came out as topscorer! :) Still I think this Holland has tons of class, and can't say the same about the Ireland-side!
