📋 Team News: Netherlands

The Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this match thanks to a completely injury-free squad ready to go.

It seems likely that Oranje could kick off with a 5-3-2 system for the game, handing starts to Remko Pasveer, Jurrien Timber, Virgil van Dijk, Nathan Ake, Denzel Dumfries, Daley Blind, Marten de Roon, Davy Klaassen, Kenneth Taylor, Steven Bergwijn and Cody Gakpo.

📰 Team News: Belgium

Due to a completely injury-free group available to choose from, the Belgium manager Roberto Martínez has zero fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this match.

It’s our belief that De Rode Duivels appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation by sending out Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Arthur Theate, Timothy Castagne, Yannick Carrasco, Youri Tielemans, Axel Witsel, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Belgium will have to perform well to see themselves scoring against this Netherlands outfit who we reckon should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Netherlands at the conclusion of the game.

There should be little in it.
