Netherlands – Denmark Preview

After the Netherlands secured their place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in front of an empty De Kuip on the final matchday of World Cup qualification (WCQ), Dutch fans can finally join in the celebrations – even if coach Louis van Gaal has strong opinions in regards to the Qatar edition. That aside, this is their first friendly on home soil since June last year, when they dispatched Georgia comfortably by a 3-0 scoreline.
Favourites here, the Netherlands boast an impressive 78% unbeaten rate across 23 prior friendly meetings (W9, D9, L5). Inspiring further confidence is the fact that just one of those defeats came on home soil, as the ‘Oranje’ look to avoid a repeat of the 1-0 loss to Mexico in their last Amsterdam-held friendly.
Fellow ‘Qatar 2022’ finalists Denmark will be buoyed here by the emotional return of Christian Eriksen, following his on-field collapse during the Euro 2020 group stage. Since Denmark’s Euro semi-final defeat at Wembley later in that tournament, they have shown their solidity often, with just one of the following seven games seeing both teams score (W6, L1).
Though this is only a friendly, Denmark seem to take these games seriously, as they currently boast a seven-game unbeaten run in international friendly encounters (W5, D2). Three of the victories ended with a 2-0 scoreline and saw Denmark score beyond the hour mark – as they also did with an equaliser in a draw against the mighty Germany last June.
Players to watch: Netherlands star Memphis Depay is invaluable to the national setup, recently contributing towards 55% of their WCQ goals (G12, A6). Meanwhile, Denmark’s Joakim Mæhle has proven effective from the full-back position, netting on or beyond the 44th minute in three of his last four international appearances.
Hot stat: The Netherlands boast an average of 4.5 scored goals per home game during Louis van Gaal’s current reign (W4).
