Requiring just one more victory to ensure qualification for Euro 2024, the Netherlands welcome the Republic of Ireland to the Johan Cruyff Arena for Saturday's Group B battle.
Ronald Koeman's men occupy second place in the section with 12 points to their name, while the Boys in Green have already been eliminated from top-two contention and are clinging onto playoff hope.
While Koeman's men proved no match for France in their double-header with Les Bleus, the Netherlands have claimed a quartet of wins from their other four Group B battles so far, although a few would have watched the finale of last month's battle with Greece through their fingers.
The Netherlands were thwarted once from the spot in Athens, as Nottingham Forest's Odysseas Vlachodimos denied Wout Weghorst, but three minutes into second-half injury time, captain and unlikely 12-yard source Virgil van Dijk made no mistake with his last-gasp penalty to propel his nation above Greece and into second place.
Boasting a game in hand and a superior head-to-head record over Greece, Koeman's side will guarantee a top-two finish with a victory against the Irish, but they have a final-day showdown with basement side Gibraltar to fall back on should any shocks occur on Saturday.
