Netherlands take on the visitors Belgium in the round 6 match of UEFA Nations League (League A). The match will be played on Sunday, September 24th at Johan Cruijff Arena (Amsterdam).
Netherlands again plays under the leadership of van Gaal. This mentor brought the "orange" the last serious success - the semi-finals of the World Cup. But that was already in 2014, in fact, in the last generation. After that, there were no exits to Euro 2016 and World Cup 2018. Only Koeman was able to revive the football of the Dutch. But, having brought his wards to the continental tournament, Ronald did not wait until 2021, going to fail in Barcelona. And Frank De Boer, who replaced him, did worse, to put it mildly. There was a strong start at the Euro, but their path ended already in the 1/8 finals. Yes, there were problems in qualifying. But Louis managed to correct the situation last fall. And in the summer, his wards had a good first rounds of the League of Nations: they defeated Belgium on the road, beat Wales twice and with Poland bounced back from 0-2. In September, there was an away match with Kadra, which brought 1 more confident victory.

Belgium in 2018 became the "bronze" medalist of the World Cup. This is the highest achievement in history. And there are still enough of those who forged this achievement in the clip. Although in defense the veterans are gradually leaving the stage, but there is no full-fledged replacement for them. Still, the level of the "Red Devils" remained high. Yes, at the Euro they could not repeat the achievement of the World Cup. But they looked confident in the group stage, knocked out the current trophy holder, Portugal, in the 1/8 finals, and then lost to the minimal future victor, Italy. Yes, and in qualifying for the World Cup, they succeeded without even breaking a sweat. But in the summer, in a more complex company, problems already arose. Stand apart, of course, 1-4 defeat with the Netherlands. Yes, and 1-1 with Wales cannot be added to the asset. But with the Poles, the wards of Roberto Martinez were able to score the maximum. And even defeated them at home 6-1. And on Thursday, Wales was defeated 2-1 - De Bruyne and Batshuayi were the stars.
Neighbors play quite often, and are approximately equal in terms of strength in the historical context. Belgium at the beginning of the century had 2 wins in a row, but then there were a couple of draws. And, finally, the June away victory of the Netherlands. Bookmakers are more loyal to the Dutch and we recommend betting on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Netherlands to win.
