After booking a place in the knockout stages for the first time since 2008, Netherlands aim to end their group stage campaign on a high as they prepare to face North Macedonia on Monday.
The Orange began their campaign with a 3-2 win over Ukraine and went on to beat Austria 2-0 on matchday two. North Macedonia in comparison aim to get their first point in the tournament after suffering two straight defeats.
The first came at the hands of Austria (3-1) and the other one was dished out by Ukraine (2-1). There will be nothing to lose for the debutants.
Netherlands to make it three wins in a row
The Dutch side have enjoyed a fantastic start to the showcase, winning their first two matches and are expected to breeze past North Macedonia in round three.
Frank De Boer’s men will be facing a side that have tasted defeat in two straight games and will not have much problems getting a result against them.
Wijnaldum and Depay will be important in this tie. The duo have netted one each and are expected to be heavily involved in a potential win.
