GolVolt Preview

The Netherlands kick off their Group F campaign with momentum, entering this clash against Japan on the back of a strong run that includes three 4-0 victories in their last five matches. History favors the Dutch as well, having secured a narrow 1-0 win in their only previous World Cup meeting back in 2010. While Japan prepares for a tough test, the bookmakers currently favor the Netherlands with odds of 2.06 to claim all three points in this highly anticipated opening fixture.
