Two rounds into the World Cup group stage, the Netherlands is on 4 points, after beating Senegal 2-0 and drawing 1-1 with Ecuador. If we look at expected goals(xG), however, the Netherlands was the worse team in both matches, and most recently against Ecuador, they "should" have only scored 0.10 goals. This compares with Ecuador's 1.68. Qatar has neither played very well nor got any results. Like many other Europen national squads, they are also introducing a new generation of Dutch footballers, with Cody Gakpo being the new leader of this team. In the premiere, they were completely outplayed by Ecuador, and in the second group stage, there was also a loss against Ecuador. Then at least they played OK, and at least managed to score a consolation, but they still went out of the WC. They are alone along with South Africa in 2010 to go out of the group stage as a host nation. "Oranje" against Qatar is the group's favorite against the bottom of the group, and I have a hard time seeing anything other than the Netherlands winning comfortably. Qatar has put an incredible amount of effort into its preparations for the World Cup, but apparently, they are still not good enough. "Oranje" will need to win the match to win the group, and goal difference could be decisive in the fight for the group's victory. Although the Netherlands didn't impress in the first two games, I can't imagine that against the worst defense in the group they won't score at least 2.3 goals. Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay would have to break through the defense of the hosts who have nothing to play for today.

世界杯小组赛进入两轮后，荷兰队2-0击败塞内加尔，1-1战平厄瓜多尔，积4分。然而，如果我们看预期进球数(xG)，荷兰队在两场比赛中都是最差的球队，最近对阵厄瓜多尔，他们“应该”只进0.10球。相比之下，厄瓜多尔为1.68。卡塔尔踢得不好，也没有取得任何成绩。和许多其他欧洲国家队一样，他们也引进了新一代荷兰足球运动员，科迪·加克波是这支球队的新队长。在首映式上，他们完全被厄瓜多尔击败，在第二阶段的小组赛中，他们也输给了厄瓜多尔。至少他们踢得还行，至少打进了一个安慰球，但他们还是被淘汰了。在2010年世界杯上，他们和南非一样作为东道主从小组赛出局。对阵卡塔尔的“橙色军团”是小组赛对阵小组垫底的球队的最佳选择，除了荷兰队能轻松取胜，我很难看到其他球队的表现。卡塔尔为世界杯的准备工作付出了惊人的努力，但显然，他们仍然不够好。“橙色军团”需要赢得这场比赛才能小组出线，净胜球可能是小组出线的决定性因素。尽管荷兰队在前两场比赛中表现不佳，但我无法想象，面对小组中防守最差的球队，他们至少会进2.3球。科迪·加波和孟斐斯·德佩将不得不突破东道主的防守，因为他们今天毫无用武之地。
