Facing a Serbian defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive matches, Gakpo's direct running and sharp finishing make him the most dangerous player on the pitch.🟢 Safe Bet (Low Risk)Both Teams to Score – Yes🟡 Smart Bet (Medium Risk)Netherlands to Win🔴 Long Shot (High Risk)Netherlands to Win 3-1Disclaimer: Whilst we do our utmost to offer good advice and information, we cannot be held responsible for any loss that may be incurred as a result of gambling.
