The Netherlands might have initially struggled to find their feet when Ronald Koeman was reappointed last year, but the European giants signed off 2023 amid a real purple patch. Eventually cruising their way to a major tournament return, the former Barcelona boss will be dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine EURO 24 charge this summer.
Scotland might have once again made real history last year as they as they booked their ticket for EURO 24, the Tartan Army do have the feel of a squad seeking a recent boost. Despite flying out of the traps when getting their qualifying adventure underway, Steve Clarke’s side largely dragged themselves over the finish line.
H2H / Stats
Scotland won just one of their previous 12 meetings with the Netherlands (seven losses and four draws).
02 Jun 2021 – Netherlands 2-2 Scotland – International Friendly
09 Nov 2017 – Scotland 0-1 Netherlands – International Friendly
09 Sep 2009 – Scotland 0-1 Netherlands – FIFA World Cup qualifying
28 Mar 2009 – Netherlands 3-0 Scotland – FIFA World Cup qualifying
19 Nov 2003 – Netherlands 6-0 Scotland – UEFA European Championship qualifying
Team News
Memphis Depay has been recalled to Koeman’s squad. Continuing to shine since arriving at German outfit RB Leipzig last summer and attracting plenty of heavyweight interest, 20-year-old Xavi Simons should once again start in Holland’s attack here. Despite now playing his domestic football in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ettifaq, Georginio Wijnaldum has been handed a recall for this month’s fixtures. At the heart of a Premier League title scrap with Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk will earn a 65th international cap on Friday night.
Captain Andy Robertson has been recalled to Scotland’s squad and the Liverpool defender will lead Clarke’s side out in Amsterdam. Likewise, despite now being 41 years of age, veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon has also been included in the Tartan Army’s squad. However, dealing with a recent injury issue, Callum McGregor will not feature this month. Short on attacking options, Southampton striker Che Adams could be handed the chance to lead Scotland’s charge after notching 10 Championship strikes this season.
Probable Line-Up
Netherlands XI: Verbruggen(GK); Blind, van Dijk, Vrij; Hartman, Reijnders, Schouten, Dumfries; Gakpo, Simons; Weghorst
Scotland XI: Clark (GK); Taylor, McKenna, Hendry, Patterson; Gilmour, McTominay; McLean, McGinn, Armstrong; Adams
Verdict
The Netherlands will be hoping to send a statement of intent with this friendly now that most of their established players are back in contention. Scotland too has a few injuries to worry them and in front of an expectant Amsterdam, this is the Netherlands game to lose.
