On Tuesday, Netherlands will play Qatar in their final group-stage match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup at the Al Bayt Stadium. Due to a win and a draw in the competition’s first two games, Netherlands currently leads Group A. They have four points, and even a draw would be enough for them to advance to the knockout stages; however, they will be hoping to win to advance to the group stage.
With their second defeat in a row against Senegal on Friday, Qatar became the first team eliminated from the World Cup this year. The fact that Mohammed Muntari scored the host nation’s first FIFA World Cup goal was one positive they took away from that 3-1 defeat. They have been eliminated from the competition, but before they leave, they will want to give a good performance in front of their fans to avoid ruining the Netherlands’ party.
Prediction
In their final match, Qatar will be determined to give their fans something to cheer about. However, we are finding it difficult to back anything but a Netherlands victory here. The team led by Van Gaal has performed admirably thus far in the tournament, and we fully anticipate that they will finish with seven points in Group A.
