Belgium:
After a successful World Cup, Belgium continued where they left off at the World Cup. They played three caps and won all. A friendly match against Scotland (4: 0) and two victories in the league A group 2 against Iceland (3: 0) and Switzerland (2: 1) were the result. Thus, the Belgians lead their group after two matchdays with a gate balance of 5: 1 and six points in front of Switzerland and Iceland.
In the game against Holland head coach Martinez must renounce Kevin de Bruyne. The star of Manchester City suffered a serious knee injury during the training session in August. Although he was back in the team training last week, a comeback in the national team is of course still too early. Also missing are Adnan Januzaj (Real Sociedad) and Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspurs), as well as Mousa Dembélé (thigh injury). Good news, however, is Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United). According to media reports, he should be ready for action again. Hope makes the Belgians that it is more than 21 years ago that the Netherlands could win a victory against Belgium. On September 6, 1997 Patrick Kluivert, Dennis Bergkamp and Jaap Stam met against the Belgians during qualifying for the World Cup in France. 3: 1 it was in the end from the viewpoint of Oranje. It is noteworthy, however, that in the following seven games no winner could be determined five times.
Netherlands:
Holland played three games as of September of this year: a friendly against Peru and two matches in the UEFA Nations League. Against Peru succeeded a 2: 1 victory. In the Nations League you lost first against the world champion from France with 1: 2. After that, a few days ago, the historic 3-0 victory over the archrival of Germany, which was beaten again for the first time since 2002, succeeded. Holland are in second place after Group A with 4-2 on aggregate and three on the credit side.
Koeman will be without a stabilizer in central defense van Dijk on Tuesday. The 27-year-old suffered a minor injury in the Premier League game against Southampton. After consultation with the Dutch Football Association it was agreed (even after an urgent request of Jürgen Klopp) that he would only be used for the competitive match against Germany. That this was a good decision, proved the 1-0, which van Dijk personally scored. Stefan de Vrij (Inter Milan) will most likely replace him. A similar request was also submitted by Ajax trainer ten Haag. Koeman shows as a former club coach quite understanding for these requests. The next few weeks are a major physical strain for all players. Koeman therefore left open whether he will bring Matthijs de Ligt, Daley Blind and Frenkie de Jong against the Belgians for use.
