Belgium could put on a show in Brussels tonight

"Seven of the nine games Belgium have played since the Euros have delivered Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals in Belgium v Netherlands @ 1.804/5

Tobias Gourlay reckons Belgium and Netherlands will flex their muscles in Brussels...

Belgium v Netherlands
Friday 19:45
(Live on Premier Sports 1)

In Prague last night, the Czechs stood firm to beat Switzerland 2-1 and dismantle our win bet.

We're sticking with the Nations League today and zooming in on the Low Countries derby. With Thibaut Courtois missing for the hosts, two talented forward lines could enjoy themselves in Brussels tonight.

Roberto Martinez's Belgium have scored three times in each of the three home games (Estonia, Czech Republic and Burkina Faso) they've played since last summer's Euro finals loss to Italy. The Red Devils also struck twice in losing 2-3 to France in Turin in last year's Nations League. Seven of the nine games they've played home and away since the Euros have delivered Over 2.5 Goals.

The Netherlands are a step up from some of the Belgium's recent opponents but - spearheaded by Memphis Depay - Louis van Gaal's men bring an increased goal threat of their own. Last time out on the road, the Oranje drew a World Cup qualifier 2-2 in Montenegro. A similar result wouldn't be a surprise today and we'll take 1.804/5 about Over 2.5 Goals.
