World Cup preparations continue at a pace on Wednesday with friendly matches taking place across the globe. We have a trio of selections which make up our best bets of the day. TREBLE YOUR RETURNS + GET £20 IN FREE BETSWednesday football tipsBet of the day – Algeria under 0.5 goals v Netherlands @ 20/21The Netherlands will be hoping for glory in the USA, Mexico and Canada and their preparations continue with a tie against fellow World Cup hopefuls Algeria.The Dutch were unbeaten in their eight World Cup qualification games in a group which also contained Poland, Finland, Lithuania and Malta.Ronald Koeman’s men scored 27 goals and conceded just four times on their way to the summer showpiece and Oranje only went down 2-1 to England in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 two years ago.Algeria cruised through their qualifying campaign, but Uganda, Mozambique, Guinea, Botswana and Somalia rate as low-level opponents.The Greens were beaten 2-0 by Nigeria at the quarter-final stage of the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year and Vladimir Petkovic’s visitors look a step or two below the Netherlands.Algeria failed to fire a single shot on target in March’s 0-0 friendly draw with Uruguay in March, and although the Greens have lost only one of their last 17 games, that record is mighty flattering.There is the potential for Koeman to make full use of his squad, with Jurrien Timber unlikely to be involved, but Virgil van Dijk, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven and Denzel Dumfries are top-class defenders.Algeria are 20/21 to fail to score at Rotterdam’s De Kuip and that rates a nice offer. Bet builder – Nigeria to win, over 2.5 match goals and over 2.5 Nigeria goals @ 13/2Neither Poland nor Nigeria will be heading for the World Cup and the Poles put in a disappointing effort when losing 2-0 to Ukraine in Wrocław on Sunday.That loss followed the 3-2 World Cup play-off defeat to Sweden, continuing a frustrating sequence for the White-Reds. Jan Urban opted to start star forward Robert Lewandowski at the weekend and the 37-year-old may now miss out against Nigeria. The Super Eagles fell to Congo on penalties in the final of their World Cup play-off and they were also beaten by Morocco in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.Nigeria were 3-0 winners over Jamaica on Saturday, a result which came without Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, who could play a part against Poland. The Super Eagles have the firepower and motivation to beat Poland in a high-scoring contest. Acca – Netherlands to beat Algeria, Denmark to beat Congo & Luxembourg to beat Italy @ 11/1A Netherlands win in Rotterdam can kick off Wednesday’s treble.Denmark were mightily unfortunate to first fall behind Scotland in their World Cup qualifying group and then lose on penalties to the Czech Republic in the play-offs. The Danes remain a strong side capable of beating Congo in Liege, Belgium.Italy’s failure to reach the World Cup was a huge disappointment to the nation and the Azzurri are no good things to beat Luxembourg. Caretaker boss Silvio Baldini has effectively named a youth side for the contests against Luxembourg and Greece and Italy could be vulnerable to Jeff Strasser’s men, who have shown some improvement of late.
