Seven of their last ten matches that the Netherlands have played across competitions have had the total goals to be over 2.5. While playing as the home side, the Netherlands have had three of their last five games where the total goals have been over 2.5.

Playing away across competitions, the same record holds for them which had the total goals to be over 2.5.
