NED vs IRE 1st ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

Netherlands and Ireland will go head on against each other in the first ODI of the three-match series. This upcoming match is scheduled to be hosted at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht on June 2, Wednesday. I have taken the opportunity to gather three of the best betting tips from the NED vs IRE match prediction.

Netherlands are coming into this ODI series on the back of decent match practice. They recently played a couple of ODIs against Scotland and had to share the spoils. Stephan Myburgh and Max O'Dowd will be the players to watch out for the Men in Orange when they take the field against an upbeat Ireland side. It remains to be seen if the Dutch can catch the Men in Green sleeping during this ODI series.

It is because Ireland has not played a single ODI match for a long time and it has been four months since then. They had last played a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan and had unfortunately lost all of them. It is time for their big guns like William Porterfield, the evergreen Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling to come up clutch in this forthcoming series against Netherlands. In the meantime, I have successfully managed to handpick three of the best betting tips for you to bet on from the NED vs IRE 1st ODI match prediction.

NED vs IRE Team Bets:

The oddsmakers have not shared a lot of markets from the first game of the ODI series. However, I have indeed managed to assort two of the best betting guaranteed tips from the NED vs IRE 1st ODI match prediction.

Ireland to win

Is there a more genuine bet in the market available to pick right now from the Netherland vs Ireland game? Ireland may not have match practice ahead of this series but they sure are coming in as the hot favourites. Ireland and Netherlands have played 10 matches so far and the visitors have won 7 of them. The Netherlands could win only one of the games and one of them was tied and the other ended in no result.

The last time these two nations were involved in an ODI encounter was back in 2013. The match was played in Amstelveen and believe it or not, that game ended in a tie. But 7 matches before that till 2007, all of them were won by Ireland. The two teams have never met at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht. It will be interesting to see how Netherlands handle this Ireland side. But for now, Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.44 for an Ireland victory in the NED vs IRE 1st ODI match prediction.

Ireland to hit more sixes in the match

If you are to check the odds, you will realise that the bookmakers are heavily favouring Ireland in almost every single aspect that can be taken in account for betting. To begin with - in the last four head-to-head matches against Netherlands, Ireland have smashed 16 sixes against the Dutchmen. The Netherlands have managed to hit only 11 of them in as many matches. The head-to-head ratio seems to be rather fine here to place our bets already. However, I do have other stuff to make you believe a little more than you do right now.

The last ODI series that Netherlands played against Scotland, the former could only hit four sixes. While they conceded 7 of them in 2 matches and that shows the rate of conceding that Netherlands have been having in recent times. I have a feeling that things are going to remain the same in the forthcoming series as well. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.50 for Ireland to hit more sixes in the NED vs IRE 1st ODI match prediction.

NED vs IRE Player Bet:

The bookmakers seem to be reluctant in sharing player markets with us punters and therefore it was hard for me to pick a genuine bet from the available one. However, I indeed have picked the best for you from the NED vs IRE 1st ODI match prediction

Max O’Dowd to be the top team batsman for Netherlands

Last but not the least, we have Max O’Dowd from the Netherlands who could make our day on Wednesday. He is fairly new to international cricket but he has made quite a name for himself in the initial stages of his cricketing career. He has played four ODI matches and has scored 235 runs at an average of 78.33. He even scored three half-centuries in four matches already and that is something the Dutch fans will be looking forward to.

Prior to this, he has played 18 ListA matches and has scored 475 runs at an average of 33.92 including four half-centuries. He even scored 82 runs against Scotland which made him an instant hit among the associate nations. It will be interesting to see how he fares against Ireland in this forthcoming ODI series. Bet 365 is offering brilliant odds of 3.20 for Max O’Dowd to be the top team batsman for Netherlands in the NED vs IRE match prediction.
