Holland are preferred to move forward to the finals when Uruguay and the Netherlands meet on Tuesday in World Cup betting on the semifinals. Holland upset Brazil in the quarterfinals and now must avoid overconfidence as they encounter Uruguay on Tuesday. Head coach Bert van Marwijk is warning his team not to neglect Uruguay, even though the Netherlands has yet to lose a competition in the World Cup online betting. The biggest difficulty for the Netherlands may be a letdown. They are arriving from a very emotional win over Brazil and now they’ve got to avoid overlooking a Uruguay team without two of their top competitors.

World Cup betting odds list the Netherlands at -160, Uruguay at +490 and the Draw at +255. The total on the competition is two with the over at -130.

Van Marwijk is reminding his team of what happened two years ago when the Netherlands was preferred to become European winners and then lost in the quarterfinals. He doesn’t want Uruguay to be overlooked by his team. On paper, it seems like the Netherlands should win this competition without too much difficulty. Holland won all 8 of their qualifying matches and now they have won all five of their World Cup betting matches.

Uruguay was very lucky to get past Ghana in the quarterfinals as they made it on a missed penalty kick after Luis Suarez was red-carded for a handball. The handball was important nonetheless as Ghana missed their penalty kick at the conclusion of overtime sending the game to penalty kicks where Uruguay won 4-2. Suarez was suspended, so Uruguay will be without him in this semifinal competition versus the Netherlands. Uruguay will also be without defender Jorge Ciro Fucile who is suspended and they may be without wounded captain Diego Lugano and midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro. Defender Gregory van der Wiel and midfielder Nigel de Jong, who are suspended, won’t be playing for the Netherlands.

Without having Suarez’s handball, the team would have lost to Ghana, so Suarez was really the hero for Uruguay. The squads went to extra time since they were tied 1-1 after regulation time. In the last minute, Suarez kept a shot from the Uruguay goal with his hands and then Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan slammed the crossbar with his penalty shot. Uruguay went on to win the competition 4-2 on penalty kicks.

For Uruguay to win this competition they are going to need Diego Forlan to score. With Suarez from the roster, he is the 1 true scoring threat. Holland has a lot more scoring depth led by Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder.

The last seven World Cup finals odds have involved only five squads but that will change this year with the champion of this competition between Uruguay and the Netherlands in the final. Only five squads since 1982, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France and Italy have played in the World Cup finals. If the Netherlands wins this semifinal versus Uruguay and Spain beats Germany on Wednesday, there will be a first-time World Cup champion. Holland competed in the 1974 and 1978 finals but lost both times. Uruguay has claimed the World Cup 2 times.
