Uruguay and the Netherlands will meet on Tuesday in the World Cup betting on the semifinals with the Netherlands preferred to move forward to the final. Holland must now avoid overconfidence as they take on Uruguay on Tuesday after they upset Brazil in the quarterfinals. Head coach Bert van Marwijk is warning his squad not to overlook Uruguay, even though the Netherlands has yet to lose a game in the World Cup online betting. The biggest issue for the Netherlands could be a disappointment. They’ve got to avoid overlooking a Uruguay squad without 2 of their greatest participants after arriving off a quite emotional win over Brazil.

World Cup betting probabilities list the Netherlands at -160, Uruguay at +490 and the Draw at +255. The total on the game is 2 with the over at -130.

Van Marwijk is reminding his squad of what happened 2 years ago when the Netherlands was preferred to become European winners and then lost in the quarterfinals. He does not want Uruguay to be overlooked by his squad. On paper, it seems like the Netherlands should win this game without excessive difficulty. Holland won all 8 of their qualifying games and now they have won all five of their World Cup betting games.

Uruguay was quite lucky to get past Ghana in the quarterfinals as they survived on a missed penalty kick after Luis Suarez was red-carded for a handball. The handball was worth the cost nonetheless as Ghana missed their penalty kick at the end of overtime sending the game to penalty kicks where Uruguay won 4-2. Uruguay will be without Suarez in this semifinal game versus the Netherlands as he was suspended. Uruguay will also be without defender Jorge Ciro Fucile who is suspended and they could be without wounded captain Diego Lugano and midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro. The Netherlands will be without defender Gregory van der Wiel and midfielder Nigel de Jong who are suspended.

Without having Suarez’s handball, the squad would have lost to Ghana, so Suarez was truly the hero for Uruguay. The squads went to extra time since they were evened up 1-1 after regulation time. In the last moment, Suarez kept a shot out of the Uruguay goal by using his hands and then Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan hit the crossbar with his penalty shot. Uruguay went on to win the game 4-2 on penalty kicks.

Uruguay is going to need Diego Forlan to score in order for them to win this game. With Suarez out of the lineup, he is the one true scoring menace. Holland has far more scoring depth led by Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder.

The last seven World Cup finals probabilities have involved only five squads but that will change this year with the winner of this game 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 winner. Holland competed in the 1974 and 1978 finals but lost both times. Uruguay has claimed the World Cup 2 times.
