Australia and the Netherlands do battle in the Estadio Beira-Rio in the city of Porto Alegre at 12 p.m. Eastern time live on ESPN. Australia need to get at least a tie to stay in the World Cup whereas the Netherlands will be looking to build on their astonishing win over Spain in its first game.
Here’s the betting you need to know:
1. Don’t Bet on Holland

The Netherlands is the favorite with the best odds being 2/9 at Bet 365.
2. Australia Has Outrageous Odds
Australia is really out there on the odds, you can get them for as much as 14/1 at Boyle Sports. The average betting in the market is 12/1, but Stan James is giving 10/1 which seems pretty low.
3. A Tie Could Be Worth a Bet
A tie is also looking unlikely, you can get odds of 6/1 at Bet Fred, if you think Maty Ryan and co. can keep Arjen Robben and Robin Van Persie out.
4. There Massive Odds For a Shock 1-0 Australia Win
The favorite scoreline is 2-0 to the Netherlands, the outside odds of 6/1 at Bet Fred looks pretty good. The odds are as far out as 35/1 at Paddy Power for a 1-0 Australia victory.
5. Tim Cahill Loves to Score From Corner

The favorite to get the first goal in the game is Robin Van Persie. His odds are 2/1 at Tote Sport. There are better odds on Australia Captain Tim Cahill who scored against Chile and always has the potential to head home a corner.
