five of the netherlands' last seven friendlies have gone over 2.5, and that is the kind of pattern that holds up in pre world cup warm ups. koeman wants attacking sharpness before the tournament starts and at this venue against an asian opponent, oranje will push the tempo from the start.
depay led the qualifiers with eight goals and the dutch attack is loaded with reijnders, gakpo, malen and brobbey. they need a strong response after the 1-0 loss to algeria, so the intent should be there.
uzbekistan also bring attacking life. they scored ten in six matches under cannavaro before drawing a blank against canada, with shomurodov a real threat up top. with both sides motivated to find form, three goals across 90 minutes is a friendly line.

hungary come into this off a 1-0 win over slovenia, a 0-0 draw with greece and a 2-0 victory over finland on friday with varga grabbing a first half brace. that is the profile of a side that is solid at home and finds ways to get results in this kind of fixture.
szoboszlai is the difference maker, fresh off creating three chances and setting up varga's opener against finland. with sallai, kerkez and the toth boys also available, the home attacking quality is on a completely different level to what kazakhstan can offer.
kazakhstan are ranked 68 places lower by fifa and they have lost seven of their last ten away matches. their attack is thin without zaynutdinov and they rarely score on the road. against a hungary side at home in debrecen with the better players across the pitch, the home win is the cleanest spot at 1.30.

portugal are flying into the world cup in good shape, unbeaten in their last four with three wins and a draw including a 2-1 victory over chile in their last warm up. their home record is even stronger, unbeaten in their last nine with eight wins and one draw.
martinez has the seleรงรฃo scoring freely too. portugal have netted at least twice in eight of their last nine home games and registered five plus shots on target in eight of their last nine overall. with bruno fernandes contributing to a goal in six of his last eight friendlies and the rest of the attacking talent loaded, the firepower is clearly there.
nigeria are in decent form themselves but they come up short against european opposition, just one win in their last nine such fixtures. they were also thrashed 4-0 by portugal in their only previous meeting back in 2022. at 1.40 the home win is the cleanest spot for this final warm up.

republic of korea vs czech republic over 1.5 goals @1.39
both sides come into this in scoring form and these international fixtures usually produce at least a couple of goals. korea have won their last two home games 5-0 over trinidad and tobago and 1-0 over el salvador, with five wins in their last seven at home, so the attacking intent is clearly there.
czech republic have won five consecutive games under koubek, beating kosovo 2-1 and guatemala 3-1 most recently. with schick leading the line as the focal point and soucek adding presence from midfield, the away side bring real attacking threat. korea's defence has been giving up chances even during their winning run.
korea also have son heung-min and lee kang-in to provide quality going forward, and with hong's brave three at the back system the game opens up plenty. two goals across 90 minutes is the friendliest line on the card here.

canada vs bosnia and herzegovina canada or bosnia @1.35
both sides come into this in identical form, unbeaten in their last five with two wins and three draws each. that kind of profile usually points to a tight game where one side edges it or both share the points.
canada have only won one of their last four at home but they have drawn the other three and not lost any, conceding just 0.57 goals per game in that stretch. their defensive structure under marsch holds up well even when the attack does not click.
bosnia are also solid on the road, six games unbeaten away with three wins and three draws plus 3.17 goals per game in those trips. with dลพeko leading the line and tabakovic chipping in, the away side bring real quality too. at 1.35 the 1x covers both a canadian win and the draw, which between them is the most likely outcome.
