Netherlands Preview

We Say

The Netherlands should enjoy the majority of possession and territorial control because their technical quality and squad depth are significantly stronger than Uzbekistan's. However, the visitors have shown enough discipline and organisation in recent years to remain competitive, making this a useful World Cup preparation test for both sides.
