A draw will be enough to see the Netherlands claim top spot in Group E and that’s why the bookmakers are prepared to offer bigger odds about the Dutch triumphing in Cape Town. However, manager Bert van Marwijk will want his team to keep the momentum going and they have the attacking weaponry to make life difficult for their African opponents.

While it’s not clear as to whether Arjen Robben will play any part, the manager might allow Eljero Elia to have the freedom of Greenpoint Stadium and the Hamburg winger looks like an exciting talent. Van Marwijk will also be looking for his defence to achieve another shut-out, with the coaching staff happy for the Netherlands to win ugly at this World Cup.

Indeed, the scoreline should have been more emphatic against Japan, with Ibrahim Afellay passing up two great chances to find the net and more chances should come the team’s way against a Cameroon team that are already out of the World Cup.

PREDICTION: HOLLAND TO WIN @ 1.83 with bet365
