A Dutch documentary filmmaker has predicted the Oranje team will place fourth in the World Cup. Bernard Krikke revealed his theory on Friday, reports AD.

In his documentary How to Win the FIFA World Cup, Krikke with researchers from the University of Groningen analysed 30,000 minutes of football matches including 250,000 from World Cup games.

Based on their findings, the team expects the Dutch performance to earn them fourth place. "There's a big chance that we will encounter Brazil in the quarterfinals," estimates Krikke. "I fear penalties."
