However, this small country can be proud about results of their team showed in previous three matches. First, Luxemburg offered a battle to Bulgaria, losing 3-4. Second match of the group ended with close 0-1 loss to Sweden and away draw at Belarus got the team their only point after 1-1 draw. Luxemburg used to suffer thrashing defeats and current results came as quite a surprise.

Netherlands are one of the leading football nations in the world, who suffers from rebuilding and lack of skilled new players. Players that bronze medals in Brazil got older and couldn’t drag the team into Euro-2016 and start of the qualification for the World Cup 2018 isn’t great either. Blind’s men have four points after three matches played and sit on third place in the group. Netherlands started with 1-1 draw against Sweden, thrashed Belarus, 4-1, and lost to France at home, 0-1. The team is of great potential but their players need to start meeting high expectations, otherwise Netherland may skip second major tournament in a row.
The opponents met 14 times in their reach history of head-to-heads since the first matchup back in 1920. Netherlands were stronger 12 times, one match ended with draw and one time Luxemburg celebrated a victory. Netherland have great chance to clos gap on Sweden and shouldn’t settle for less than a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Netherlands to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
