Argentina vs Netherlands Bet Builder Tip 1: Julian Alvarez Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 8/11 with BetUK
We begin this quarter-final bet builder with a relatively straight forward shot on target selection.
Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez has started above Lautaro Martinez in Argentina’s previous two games, and the 22-year-old has repaid Lionel Scaloni’s faith in him with two goals already.
He ranks in the top four for shots on target at the World Cup so far with five, and he presents a constant threat for a Dutch defence that conceded eight shots on target from the USA in the round of 16.
Argentina vs Netherlands Bet Builder Tip 2: Memphis Depay Over 1.5 Shots on Target @ 41/20 with BetUK
We’re also tipping Alvarez’s Dutch counterpart Memphis Depay to go one better by hitting the target at least twice against Argentina.
He also ranks in the most frequent and accurate shooters so far with five on target, which translated to his first goal of the tournament after rounding off a mesmerising one-touch team goal against the USA.
WHAT. A. GOAL! 🤩
Netherlands pass it from back to front and Memphis Depay applies the finish!

He also ranks in the top four for most shots in general, so expect him to be trying his luck against an Argentina defence that has often looked stretched at times in Qatar.
Argentina vs Netherlands Bet Builder Tip 3: Match to be a Draw @ 21/10 with BetUK
Lastly, we simply couldn’t split these two teams and, as such, have tipped a draw after 90 minutes.
Whatever happens after that could be a question of squad depth and fitness, but the respective performances of both sides has made this quarter-final near-impossible to decipher.
The Netherlands have had a multitude of game plans depending on the opposition so far, and they were content to let the USA keep the ball and pick their moments to strike with incredible pace and precision.
Argentina will indeed be looking to control the tempo of the game having averaged 65% possession thus far; the second-highest in the tournament. They are yet to face an opponent as dangerous as the Dutch, but Argentina’s reliance on moments of magic from their forward line makes them unpredictable.
This is likely to be a cagey, narrow affair between two nations who are improving game-by-game, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it go the distance.
