Prediction: Netherlands 5-0 Gibraltar

Netherlands were so disappointing against France last time out, but we are fully expecting Koeman’s side to bounce back in this match. Gibraltar would not have wanted to face Holland off the back of a heavy loss, and we are tipping the home side to win their second game in the section in style.
