Australia v Netherlands Tip: Arjen Robben To Score
The Dutch winger set the record for the fastest ever recorded sprint in a football match on Friday as he scored twice against Spain.
After a virtuoso display against reigning champions Spain, Arjen Robben again demonstrated that on his day he is close to unplayable.
The Bayern Munich star found the net twice in the second half as the Netherlands produced the performance of the tournament so far. The frightening thing is that he could easily have had four goals to himself as he ran riot.
On Wednesday he faces a spirited but vulnerable Australia side who conceded three times to Chile on Day 2. Given that Van Persie is 1/2 to score anytime for Netherlands with most firms, we should bite the hands off Bet365 who offer a best price 11/10 on Robben adding to his tally.
As we mentioned pre-tournament, the 30-year-old is a good bet for goals given that he averaged a staggering 5.4 shots per game in this season’s Champions League. The bookies price him down as a winger but this is to ignore the positions he gets into. After 21 goals for Bayern in 2013-14, we should back his current dazzling form to continue.
