Score up to £100 in free bets with Spreadex ahead of Netherlands vs Sweden

Netherlands and Sweden meet at NRG Stadium in Houston on Saturday night in a top‑of‑the‑table Group F clash. Sweden lead the group with three points after thrashing Tunisia 5‑1, while the Netherlands sit second with one point following a dramatic 2‑2 draw with Japan.

With the winner taking control of the group and moving closer to the knockout rounds, Spreadex are offering new customers the chance to grab up to £100 in free bets. Simply sign up via our link, place a £10 outright bet on any nation to win the World Cup, and you’ll get an initial free bet package plus another £10 free fixed odds bet for every match your chosen nation wins.

The Netherlands took the lead twice against Japan through Virgil van Dijk (50th minute) and Crysencio Summerville (64th minute), but were pegged back both times – the second a late 89th‑minute equaliser. Van Dijk’s goal was a trademark towering header, and the Liverpool captain will be key again here. 

The Dutch dominated possession with nearly 60% control and registered six shots on target to Japan’s three, but their failure to kill the game off proved costly.

Sweden produced the best performance of the group stage so far, thrashing Tunisia 5‑1 in Monterrey. Yasin Ayari opened the scoring in the 7th minute, before Alexander Isak added a second in the 30th minute. Viktor Gyökeres struck on 59 minutes, and an own goal padded the lead before Ayari grabbed his second deep into stoppage time (90+6′).

Net even more value with Spreadex

All you need to do to cash in on Spreadex’s offer is sign up, via our link, and place a £10 bet on who you think will win the World Cup. 

As soon as your qualifying wager is made, you will instantly receive a £10 free fixed odds bet, a £10 free Total Goals football spread bet, and a £10 free Supremacy football spread bet.

Even better, you will then land a further £10 free fixed odds bet for every single match your chosen nation wins during the tournament, up to a maximum of seven wins.

Grabbing this offer is the perfect boost, and well-timed for a crucial clash where whoever wins takes control of Group F. A draw keeps both sides in the mix heading into the final round.

Dutch quality to edge a high‑stakes battle

Sweden’s 5‑1 thrashing of Tunisia was impressive, but the Netherlands are a different calibre of opponent. The Dutch went unbeaten through qualifying with six wins and two draws, scoring 27 goals while conceding just four – underlying quality that their opening draw against Japan didn’t fully reflect. 

Van Dijk and Ake will be better equipped to handle Isak and Gyökeres than Tunisia’s defence. Sweden have not beaten the Netherlands in their last five encounters, with the Dutch winning three and drawing two.

• Netherlands to win
• Over 2.5 goals

As evidenced, both sides have goals in them and three of the last five meetings between these sides have produced three or more goals for the winning side. Expect an open, entertaining contest where the Netherlands’ superior quality ultimately tells.
