Although no European side has ever won a World Cup held in South America and most pundits don’t envisage that statistic changing in Brazil, both Spain and Holland boast a number of World class players and should be there or there about come the latter stages of the competition. Spain, who have won their last three major tournaments with a similar generation of players as those who are making the trip to Brazil must surely be considered Europe’s best shot at lifting the Jules Rimet trophy and should have too much even for this strong Dutch side when looking for our Spain v Netherlands predictions.

These sides boast some of the world’s finest attacking players so expect goals, a good bet potentially being Spain to win with both teams scoring which comes in at a generous 9/2 with Coral and is our first World Cup betting tip on the match. Diego Costa looks to have overcome the hamstring injury which saw him limp out of last month’s Champions League final, and alongside David Villa, Pedro, David Silva and Fernando Torres Spain are spoilt for choice in the final third.

Costa is 9/2 favourite to open the scoring (Sky Bet) and 24/13 to net anytime with 888Sport, and after the season he has had for his club Holland will do brilliantly to keep him quite should he last the full 90 minutes.

Robin Van Persie will lead the line for the Dutch, and despite a season hampered by injury is still a major threat, and at 7/2 with Bet365 to score anytime is worth real consideration for our Spain v Netherlands betting tips.

When these two sides met in the final four years ago, much of the attention was afforded to referee Howard Webb who dished out no less than 14 cards. The Dutch have a history of being somewhat dirty, think back to ‘the battle of Nuremberg’ in 2006 and Frank Rijkaard’s antics in 1990, so I expect this to be another feisty affair with both sides desperate to get their campaigns off to a good start. For our final football betting tip William Hill offer 7/2 on there being more than six cards in the game, and if history is anything to go by this should be a safe bet. Nigel de Jong, who miraculously avoided a red card for a chest high challenge on Xavi Alonso four years ago is the favourite to be the first name in the book at 9/1 with Paddy Power.

Whatever happens on the pitch, two sides with the quality of Spain and Holland are sure to provide an exciting World Cup match, one which on only the second day of the tournament will hopefully set the tone for the next month.
