Predicted Lineups
Team News
- Ronald Koeman may make a couple of changes to his starting XI for Tuesday’s game against Malta.
- Stefan de Vrij replaced Jan Paul van Hecke at the break against Finland, and the Inter man could start alongside Virgil van Dijk.
- Micky van de Ven and Xavi Simons are among those who could rotate into the side.
Prediction
- Netherlands ended a four-game winless run with a routine 2-0 win at Finland on Saturday. They’ll play Malta for the first time in their history on Tuesday night.
- Malta’s winless streak extended to four matches with a 0-0 draw with Lithuania last time out. That first point on the board will have been a welcome reprieve.
- However, the Netherlands will post a far sterner test this week, and the Oranje have the quality in personnel to put up a big score on home turf.
