Wales have no contemporary injuries problems to report coming into this match right after Sunday’s Planet Cup Qualification clinching win over Ukraine.

Manager, Rob Website page though could choose to rotate his squad as players like Chris Mepham, Rabbi Matondo and Sorba Thomas glimpse to commence, just after being rested on Sunday.

Netherlands will be devoid of Tim Krul after he withdrew from the squad because of to injury with Kjell Scherpen known as up as Krul’s substitution.

Stat Attack

• This is Wales’ very first Nations League conference in opposition to Netherlands but are winless in 8 former conferences throughout all competitions (L8).
• Netherlands have received every of their three past visits to Wales, albeit devoid of keeping a thoroughly clean sheet (W3).
• Now retired Dutch participant – Arjen Robben scored four targets throughout the Netherlands’ last a few conferences from Wales in all competitions.

Prediction

Subsequent Sunday’s lucky smash-and-grab winner to defeat Ukraine amidst waves of stubborn defending, Wales are coming into this match on a high but their stubborn defending may well be to their benefit if they can frustrate the Dutch and snatch a further clinical winner.

Netherlands however are coming into this game off the back of a ruthless earn absent to Belgium and have a fearsome attack to boot, so I hope them to occur listed here hunting to dominate on the front foot offered their kind in this fixture.

My major worry for Wales nevertheless will be irrespective of whether Sunday’s actual physical contest and achievement has taken much out of them mentally, even regardless of rotation due to the fact if they don’t aim promptly and get trapped in early on then this could properly get past their grasp.

Prediction: Wales -2 Netherlands
