Netherlands Preview – Will the Dutch secure another three points?
Netherlands have looked the real deal in this Nations League campaign, dropping just two points from a possible 15. They are top on 13 points and look nailed to reach next year’s Nations League Finals.
Holland’s campaign started with a stunning 4-1 win in Belgium, and Louis Van Gaal’s men have not looked back. They went on to win 2-1 in Wales before being held by Poland in Rotterdam. However, Oranje hit back with a 3-2 victory against the Welsh before winning 2-0 in Warsaw in midweek.
A point will be enough, but Netherlands will be looking for a win in front of their home supporters in a packed Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday night. The Dutch are the favourites with the bookies.
Belgium Preview – Can the Belgians finish on a high?
Belgium have responded well from that heavy defeat against Holland at the start of the campaign, dropping just two points since. Overall, the Belgians have won three, drawn one and lost one.
Roberto Martinez’s men thumped Poland in Brussels in game two but were then held by Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium in the next one. They have struck back with narrow wins over the Poles and Welsh to stay on the heels of the Dutch.

Netherlands vs Belgium Betting Advice
Netherlands were simply sensational when these two teams clashed at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels in early June. Memphis Depay was in red-hot form, netting a brace in the 4-1 romp – there were also goals for Steven Bergwijn and Denzel Dumfries.
The last meeting between the pair on Dutch soil was a friendly fixture back in November 2016. Davy Klaassen opened the scoring from the spot, and Yannick Carrasco rescued a draw late on.
