It is the venue for an impressive international friendly as the Netherlands take on Scotland.

Dutch vs. Scotland Betting Tip: BTTS / Over 2.5
The fun is expected on Saturday as both countries look to increase their Euro 2012 preparations. 2024.

While Scotland have arrived in Amsterdam without a win in their last five games, Steve Clarke's side have improved significantly over the last two years. Coming out of their qualifiers with 17 points from eight games against Scotland with their impressive victories against Spain and Norway last summer.

Raising FIFA rankings now, well, Scotland may be ready to achieve their dream of qualifying from the early stages of this crucial match. Scotland have been knocked out in the first round of their last 10 World Cup appearances and European Championships.

The Netherlands enter the tournament with renewed confidence after winning five of their last six matches. Ronald Koeman's side have lost three of their last four matches, most recently beating Ireland (twice) against Greece. (Twice) and Gibraltar.

Usually the target can be expected when Scott hits. Clarke's side have scored more than 2.5 goals in eight of their last 10 away games. Four of Scotland's four most recent matches have also been spotted. BTTS Well, I personally like the similar results.

Past matches between these countries have been largely dominated by the Netherlands. Scotland lost 6: 0 and 3: 0 in their last two trips to Amsterdam in 2003 and 2009, although they won 2: 2 in their last meetings in A friendly match in Portugal three years ago.

I expect both countries, BTTS, to score more than 2.5 goals, with Scotland more than enough to give the hosts a tough night at Johan Cruijff Arena.
