Few expected the Group F table to look like this after matchday one. The Dutch, long among the favourites, were held 2-2 by Japan and now need a win to steady the ship, while Sweden announced themselves by thrashing Tunisia 5-1. It is only matchday two, yet it already feels decisive.
Now the two sides meet at NRG Stadium in Houston on Saturday 20 June, kicking off at 6pm UK time, with the standings already looking very different from what the bookmakers had predicted.
Below you will find the full Netherlands vs Sweden betting odds across every major market 7bet is pricing for this FIFA World Cup 2026 Group F tie.
Netherlands vs Sweden – Betting Odds
For the Dutch it is a chance to settle the nerves. For Sweden, a shot at all but sealing a place in the knockout rounds. Each section explains how the bet works before listing the latest prices.
1X2 Betting Odds
With this market you are picking the outcome of the match after 90 minutes plus stoppage time: a home win (1), a draw (X) or an away win (2). The numbers map to the order the teams are listed: so in this fixture, the Netherlands are “1”, the draw is “X” and Sweden are “2”.
If you back a team and the match ends in a draw, the bet loses, and the same goes for backing the draw if either side wins. It is the cleanest way into a match for anyone new to betting, because there is nothing to calculate beyond who you think will win this specific match.
In the table below you’ll find the current Netherlands vs Sweden odds for the 1X2 market. Despite that opening-day stumble against Japan, the bookmakers still make the Netherlands clear favourites.
| Netherlands win (1) | Draw (X) | Sweden win (2) |
| 11/17 | 3/1 | 7/2 |
Double Chance Odds
Double chance lets you cover two of the three 1X2 results with a single bet, which lowers your risk in exchange for shorter odds. Because you are backing two outcomes out of three, your selection only loses in one scenario, so the chance of a return is much higher than on a straight match-result bet.
There are three combinations to choose from: “1X” covers a Netherlands win or the draw, “12” covers either team winning so only the draw loses, and “X2” covers a Sweden win or the draw. It is a sensible option when you fancy a team to avoid defeat but are not confident they will win outright, or when you simply want a safer foothold in a tight match.
| 1X – Netherlands or draw | 12 – Netherlands or Sweden | X2 – Draw or Sweden |
| 2/11 | 3/13 | 1/1 |
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting exists to even up a one-sided match by giving one team a virtual head start or a virtual deficit. The favourite is “handicapped” with a goal disadvantage, while the underdog begins with extra goals added to their final tally.
Your bet is then settled against this adjusted result instead of the real one, which pushes the odds towards even money and makes a lopsided contest more interesting to back.
Let’s see an example. On a -1 handicap, the favourite must win by two clear goals or more for the bet to win. A one-goal victory would cancel out the handicap and your stake is refunded.
Some lines use quarters, such as -0.75. These split your stake across two handicaps (in this case -0.5 and -1), so a single goal win can deliver a partial winner and a partial refund instead of an all-or-nothing situation. The underdog’s side of the same line, +0.75, works in reverse and rewards them for keeping the margin tight.
| Netherlands –0.75 | Sweden +0.75 |
| 4/5 | 20/23 |
| Netherlands –1 | Sweden +1 |
| 11/10 | 4/6 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
Both Teams to Score is a simple yes-or-no question: do you think both teams will find the net during the match? “Yes” wins if both teams score at least one goal, so any result like 1-1, 2-1 or 3-2 settles in your favour. “No” wins if at least one team fails to score, which includes every clean sheet and a goalless draw.
You are not betting on the winner or the final score, only on whether each team scores at least once. The appeal is that the bet stays alive regardless of who is leading, and a single late goal at either end can change the outcome of the bet.
| Yes | No |
| 6/7 | 11/13 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Over/under betting is a wager on the combined number of goals scored by both teams, with no regard for who scores them. The bookmaker sets a line, usually 2.5, and you simply decide whether the match will produce more goals than that figure (over) or fewer (under).
That 0.5 exists to rule out a tie. Over 2.5 needs three goals or more to land, while under 2.5 needs two goals or fewer. So a 2-1 or a 3-0 settles “over”, whereas a 1-1, a 1-0 or a goalless draw settles “under”.
While 2.5 is the standard line, bookmakers also offer alternatives like 1.5 and 3.5. You can choose whatever line you want when placing your bet.
For this match, bookmakers have priced both sides identically at 5/6, so the goal count is a genuine coin flip here.
| Over 2.5 goals | Under 2.5 goals |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |

Correct Score Odds
Correct score is one of the toughest but most rewarding markets in football: you predict the exact final scoreline. Because there are so many possible results, the prices are far longer than a simple match-result bet, which is exactly what makes a successful correct score pick so satisfying.
You can back as many scorelines as you like, but each one counts as a separate bet rather than a single combined wager. The table below features a handful of popular scorelines for this match, but you can back any result you like.
| 0–0 | 1–1 | Netherlands 1–0 | Netherlands 2–1 |
| 11/1 | 13/2 | 17/3 | 7/1 |
