Leader of Group G alongside Poland, the Netherlands team holds its place in this qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup. The Oranje have great ambitions for the American World Cup, but before crossing the Atlantic for the great adventure, Virgil van Dijk and his teammates must put in one last effort to validate their ticket.
The evening opposition in Malta should not slow them down in this quest. Even if Malta remains a success always synonymous with events, this team structured around Rémois Teddy Teuma certainly does not have the weapons to resist the offensive strike force of the Netherlands. Without De Ligt, and with a notable rotation to be expected, the Netherlands must make the trade.
The expected compositions:
Malta: Bonello; Muscat, Pepe, Shaw, J. Borg, Camenzuli; J. Mbong, Teuma, Guillaumier, Satariano; P.Mbong.
The Netherlands : Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Hecke, Van Dijk, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, De Jong, Reijnders; Simons, Malen, Gakpo.
Where to watch the match?
