Time of first goal - 30th minute or later

I good bet for this game as both sides players are still rusty after it has been a while since players have played for their national team. Netherlands and England have met once in previous years in a friendly game that ended in a 1:1 draw. Both teams understand that it is an important game due to giving the winning side great prestige and morale boost. Amsterdam Arena will be packed with fans expecting a great clash. England and Netherland will make some experiments in starting line ups, but according to the press their starting elevens will be mainly with regulars. I expect and open and interesting game, but I think that the first goal will be scored 30th minute or later as at least in the first half an hour both teams will try to build up their play and get used to the new players in the squad. Also the substitutes may disruot teams rhytm of the game.

Good Luck!
