The Netherlands and Senegal meet here for the second match of Group A. The opening whistle will be at 11 AM EST at Al-Thumama Stadium in Doha. These teams have never faced each other in any competition, so it will be amazing to see how their styles clash on the biggest stage that the game has to offer in the entire world!
The Netherlands allowed 0.8 goals per match in World Cup qualifying and scored 33 goals. Twelve of those goals came from Barcelona Striker Memphis Depay. There was a lot of doubt around Depay’s status for this match, so the fact that he made the roster shows that he will be a part of this team at some point. I think that with him potentially as a substitute option for The Netherlands for game 1, that absolutely is a factor for looking at the outcome for this specific matchup.
