Football Bet of the Day: Oranje to help light up Solna

Sweden v Netherlands
Tuesday 19:45 (Live on ITV 4)

Serbia 2 Republic of Ireland 2 in Belgrade last night. In all, 16 of the 18 European teams in World Cup qualifying action last night found the back of the net. Only little Liechtenstein and Moldova failed to trouble the Fifa scorers.

Today we fancy another couple of European middleweights to land blows when they meet in Solna. The Netherlands have both scored and conceded in 6/7 friendlies since they failed to make Euro 2016. Going back to late 2007, the Oranje have struck at least once in 18/20 qualifiers on foreign turf and Danny Blind will fancy his side's chances of hurting Sweden this evening.

Those two minnows we mentioned earlier also just happened to be the only visitors among six that failed to score on Swedish soil during Euro 2016 qualifying. Dipping into qualifiers for the Brazil World Cup, it's 6/8 with both teams scoring in Sweden. We like the odds-against price on the Netherlands helping their generous hosts make it 7/9 tonight.
