Bulgaria vs Netherlands Betting Tip Preview:Our first selection (Netherlands) are only 1 point better off in Group A than today's opponents Bulgaria, however I feel there is a far greater difference in quality between the two teams. The Netherlands have comfortably beaten Luxembourg and Belarus 3-1 and 4-1 respectively in dominant performances, whereas Bulgaria laboured to wins over those two teams by just the one goal in games which could have easily been draws. When visiting Sweden, Bulgaria were completely outclassed and lost 3-0, whereas the Netherlands played out a 1-1 draw where on the balance of play they deserved to win. And finally, when playing France, Bulgaria were completely outclassed again and lost 4-1, whereas the Netherlands lost a close game 1-0. So even though Netherlands and Bulgaria's results have lead to a similar number of points, the Netherlands performances have been far better, which can be seen by their goals ratio of 8 scored and 4 conceded, compared to 6 scored and 10 conceded for Bulgaria. Therefore, even though Bulgaria have home advantage, the Netherlands should have too much quality in the likes of Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, and co, and secure the 3 points tonight.
Belgium vs Greece Betting Tip Preview:Our second selection (Belgium) is a case of a super strong attack vs a strong defence, and in this case the super strong attack of Belgium should be able to get the better of the Greek defence, especially when you take into account Belgium's defence has actually conceded less goals than Greece, so they are probably better at both ends of the park. As with Selection one, this is another example of points difference being closer than their difference in quality. Belgium top Group H with 4 straight wins and just 2 points behind are Greece with 3 wins and a draw having played exactly the same teams, however the difference being that Belgium have crushed all opposition which has lead to a goals difference of 21 scored and only 1 conceded, whereas Greece have put in efficient clinical performances to create a goals difference of 9 scored and only 2 conceded. Now both are fairly impressive records, however one certainly catches the eye, and that's Belgium's. So with Belgium having home advantage tonight, i just don't see the well organised Greece being able to hold off the huge array of attacking talent that Belgium possess in the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Dries Mertens, Axel Witsel, and Yannick Carasco to name just a few. This should be a straight forward home win for Belgium tonight.
