The Dutch squad came into the finals as one of the favorites to win in World Cup predictions and have played up to the hype. The Oranje easily won the Group E bracket with a total of 9-points after defeating Denmark 2-0 in their opening round match follewed by a 1-0 victory over Japan and 2-1 win vs Cameroon. On paper, this game seems to be a mismatch especially with a healthy Arjen Robben back but the Netherlands are not taking Repre lightly. "We expect a difficult game against Slovakia," said Robin van Persie this week. "They showed a lot of character against the Italians and were rewarded with a famous victory." Bet the Netherlands -230 as favorites in round of 16 odds vs Slovakia with up to a $250 bonus and free team jersey.
For playing in their first World Cup ever and reaching the round of 16, the Slovakian squad have certainly made their independent country proud. Slovakia finished as runner-ups in the Group F bracket after stunning Italy 3-2, drawing 1-1 with New Zealand and losing to bracket winner Paraguay 0-2. World Cup predictions had Repre longshots to win the finals and they are underdogs once again in round of 16 odds vs a Dutch team that have gone 22 games without a loss. "I hope we're capable of producing another performance like the one against Italy. But obviously the Dutch are favourites, not just for this game but for the whole tournament," said Robert Vittek this week.
