For both teams, this game is the first of a triple header during the international break. This friendly match will be followed by a number of UEFA Nations League matches.
The Netherlands need two wins in their Nations League group to qualify for the next round. A home game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, followed by a trip to Warsaw against Poland.
Frank de Boer has some injury concerns in his squad which is not ideal for him given the Dutch ambitions in this competition.
During the last international break in which De Boer played his first three games for Orange, You haven’t won a single game and only scored one goal.
A 1-0 defeat by Mexico was followed by a 0-0 draw against the Bosnians and a 1-1 draw against Italy in Bergamo.
The game in Italy could prove to be a big moment in De Boer’s tenure as the Dutch improved a lot and had some scoring opportunities.
The last game for Spain was a 1-0 defeat against Ukraine in Kiev. They’ve been largely impressive in the last few games under Luis Enrique, but they’re also facing a crucial week in the Nations League.
You have a trip to Switzerland followed by a German visit to Madrid, so this is ideal preparation for the Spanish too.
