Northern Ireland vs Netherlands Preview

Northern Ireland will look to seal qualification into the Euros in 2020 with a win here but they also know that could be one of the toughest jobs in the world right now when your opponent is the Netherlands.

Northern Ireland can still make the playoffs but they would want to sneak into the top two as a good farewell to Michael O’neil who could leave them after their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign is over.

Netherlands come into this game knowing that they can’t get any other result apart from a win to reach the Euro 2020 finals.

The visitors are in solid form having won 4 of their last 4 games and they will be looking to maintain that energy in this game.

Netherlands have won all 3 of their last 3 away games and having hammered their host 6-0 in 2012, they should be confident of earning a fourth away win in this game.

The Dutch have to watch how they defend as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten games and that should give the hosts some hope that they can get on the score sheet.
