An out-of-form Netherlands face a must-win UEFA European Championship Qualifier on Thursday when they take on Greece at Philips Stadion.

Netherlands vs Greece Betting Tips: Greece +1.5 / BTTS

Dutch boss Ronald Koeman is beginning to feel the pressure of the Oranje hot seat with the Netherlands failing to win four of their last five games. 

An expected victory against Gibraltar aside, the Dutch have been in poor form in 2023.

Koeman´s men began their Euro qualifying campaign with a heavy 4:0 loss in France and have since suffered losses in both the semi-final and 3rd place playoff in the Nations League despite boasting home advantage. 

Defensive issues continue to give the Dutch plenty of headaches - over the past 18 months, Koeman´s men have kept clean sheets in just three of their last 10 games - against Qatar, Senegal and Gibraltar. 

Now facing a Greece side that has won two of their first three qualifiers, this should prove a tough night´s work for the Dutch.

Gus Poyet´s men lost out narrowly in their last road game against beaten WC finalists France, and I expect the Greeks to again make this a tricky night for the hosts.

Given the hosts' struggles for clean sheets, BTTS looks to offer plenty of value in this qualifier, while I also fancy the Greeks on the Asian lines.
