NETHERLANDS - SERBIA
This is priced as a mismatch. Netherlands is the shortest price on a book of 1.182 / 7 / 15 (1 / X / 2), an implied 80.2%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 80.2% / 13.5% / 6.3% on an overround of 5.6%.
Under 2.5 goals has drifted from 2.92 to 3.14 (7.0%). Layers are happy to take that side on, which is worth respecting.
Liquidity is strong — €14,091 already matched on the 1X2 market, putting this among the most heavily traded fixtures on the card. Prices in a market that deep are far more reliable than in a thin one.
