This is the 6th friendly match of the year for Belgium, after friendly matches against Scotland, Costa Rica, Egypt, Portugal and Saudi Arabia. As for Netherlands, this is the 6th friendly match of the year, after previous friendly matches against Peru, Italy, Slovakia, Portugal and England.

In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Netherlands presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Belgium

The home team plays its 6th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Scotland (0‑4) Belgium, Belgium (4‑1) Costa Rica, Belgium (3‑0) Egypt, Belgium (0‑0) Portugal and Belgium (4‑0) Saudi Arabia. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in away matches; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Switzerland by (2‑1). Belgium registers 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 home matches for the Friendlies.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 matches for this competition. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 14 of the last 16 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 12 out of 16 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 16 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

The Belgium national team, despite having never won a World Cup in its history, has grown considerably in the European scene and is nowadays one of the main national teams of world football. In the World Cup in Russia this year, the Belgian team came in third after being eliminated in the semi-finals by 1-0 by champions France and having beaten the English national team in the third place match. In the last seven games Belgium has played, if we count the friendly games and the official competitions (World Cup and League of Nations), they scored at least 2 goals in six of those games and five of them were scored more than 2.5 goals. We believe that in this match the Belgium team, which has a very strong attack, will play another busy game, and will be able to score goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Mignolet, Timothy Castagne, Jason Denayer, Dedryk Boyata, Toby Alderweireld, Nacer Chadli, Youri Tielemans, Axel Witsel, Dries Mertens, Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard.
Coach: R. Martínez Montoliú.

Analysis Netherlands

The away team plays its 6th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Netherlands (2‑1) Peru, Italy (1‑1) Netherlands, Slovakia (1‑1) Netherlands, Portugal (0‑3) Netherlands and Netherlands (0‑1) England. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Nations League, they got a home win against Germany by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches Netherlands has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 4 of the last 5 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 11 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

The Netherlands have never managed to win a World Cup but were three times runner-up in 1974, 1978 and 2010, when they lost to Spain in the final of the World Cup in South Africa. At the moment the team is going through a very complicated time, as they did not even qualify for the World Cup in Russia, as they finished fourth in Group A. In the last six matches that the Netherlands have played, if we count the friendly matches and the games in the League of Nations, were scored two or more in all of them and in four were scored more than 2.5 goals by the teams. We believe that in this match, the Netherlands, coming from a 3-0 win against Germany, will perform another busy game with several goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Jasper Cillessen, Denzel Dumfries, Nathan Aké, Daley Blind, Matthijs De Ligt, Stefan de Vrij, Donny van de Beek, Kevin Strootman, Memphis Depay, Quincy Promes, Arnaut Danjuma.
Coach: R. Koeman.
