Netherlands vs Belgium Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 997

Netherlands will be looking to maintain their unbeaten campaign in the UEFA Nations League when they welcome Belgium to Johan Cruijff Arena for their final tie in Group A4 on Sunday night.

Netherlands have been impressive this year and maintained an unbeaten campaign in the Nations League, winning four and drawing one of their five fixtures in Group 4 of League A.

They now lead the group on 13 points; three points above second-placed Belgium, who have also been impressive in the group having won three, drawn one and lost one of their five matches. A win for Belgium on Sunday could see them finish top of the group, but they will need to win with more than three goals on the scoreline as Netherland have a superior goal difference.

The Dutch only need a point to maintain their top spot and book a place in the finals come next summer. With the two sides boasting immense talents in their squads both will go for a win on Sunday as they seek to finish the campaign on a high note, but they are evenly matched and we are tempted to put our money on a share of the spoils here.

Netherlands won 4-1 at away in the reverse fixture though, and they will be hoping for a similar result on Saturday.
