Netherlands vs. England Betting Tips: Lauren Hemp backed in UEFA Women's Nations League clash

England travel to the Netherlands looking to make it two wins out of two in the inaugural Women's Nations League as manager Sarina Wiegman faces her home country, with whom she led to European glory and a World Cup final (sound familiar?).
After tipping Lauren Hemp to score against Scotland, Jack Kitson returns to deliver his best bets for Tuesday's match in Utrecht, which will be shown live on ITV 4 at 7pm.
England weren't at their best in the 2-1 defeat of Scotland last week, but in their first game since the World Cup final they got the job done against a side that had won four games on the spin.
Two brilliant headers from Lucy Bronze and Lauren Hamp - the latter was tipped at 7/5 to score - secured the three points as the Lionesses recorded a winning start to Group A1 where they are surprisingly joined at the top of the table by Belgium who defeated Netherlands 2-1 thanks to an injury-time winner.
England head into this one as the 5/4 favourites with most betting sites, Netherlands are priced at 19/10 to bounce back from the Belgium defeat, while a draw can be backed at 12/5.
Netherlands vs England Tips
Following on from her game-winning goal against the Scots, I will once again be backing Lauren Hemp to score; this time at a bigger price of 27/10 with William Hill.
The winger plays such a pivotal role for her country and has really enhanced her goalscoring touch of late, scoring four goals in her last six games for her country, including three goals at the World Cup.
Not only is she a menace with the ball at her feet, Hemp is also an aerial threat, as her superb header against Scotland showed.
The Netherlands have leaked in four goals in their last two games and their defence is likely to be in for a long evening against the in-form Hemp who scored in the 5-1 defeat of the Dutch last year.
I will also be backing England to win and both teams to score at 19/5.
On their day, the Netherlands are a fantastic side. The problem is, you never really know what you're going to get: they hammered Belgium 5-0 in July, only to lose 2-1 to the same opponents last week.
The Dutch have lost their last two games 2-1 and I'm expecting a similar outcome on Tuesday night when they host an England side that have lost only once competitively under Wiegman.
England to win and both teams to score has landed in four of the last six matches, while they memorably thumped the Netherlands 5-1 last year in the build-up to the Women's Euros.
England have the firepower and strength in depth to trouble any defence and, while they face a tough test in Utrecht, I think there's some great value to be had at 19/5.
