Holland are preferred to advance to the finals when Uruguay and the Netherlands meet on Tuesday in World Cup betting on the semifinals. Holland must now avoid overconfidence as they face Uruguay on Tuesday after they upset Brazil in the quarterfinals. Holland has yet to lose a game in the World Cup online betting but head coach Bert van Marwijk is warning his squad not to ignore Uruguay. The greatest difficulty for the Netherlands could be a letdown. They’ve got to avoid overlooking a Uruguay squad without 2 of their greatest competitors after coming off a very 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 champs and then lost in the quarterfinals. He does not want Uruguay to be overlooked by his squad. It seems like the Netherlands should win this game without an excessive amount of difficulty on paper. Holland won all eight of their qualifying matches and now they’ve 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 competition to penalty kicks where Uruguay won 4-2. Uruguay will be without Suarez in this semifinal game vs the Netherlands as he was suspended. Uruguay will also be without defender Jorge Ciro Fucile who is suspended and they may be without injured 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.

Suarez was actually the hero for Uruguay as without his handball the squad would have lost to Ghana. The squads were evened up 1-1 after regulation time so they went to extra time. In the final minute, Suarez kept a shot from the Uruguay goal using his hands after which Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan struck the crossbar with his penalty shot. Uruguay went on to win the game 4-2 on penalty kicks.

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

The last 7 World Cup finals probabilities have involved only five squads but that will change this year with the victor of this game between Uruguay and the Netherlands in the final. Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France and Italy are the only five squads since 1982 to have played in the World Cup finals. If Spain defeats Germany on Wednesday and the Netherlands wins this semifinal vs Uruguay, there will be a first-time World Cup victor. Holland competed in the 1974 and 1978 finals but lost both times. Uruguay has picked up the World Cup twice.
