The Netherlands and Sweden are set to battle for progression to the next round today at Houston Stadium. Ronald Koeman’s Dutch side, who were held to a draw in their opening match against Japan, come into this encounter under considerable pressure to deliver a win.
The fixture, taking place in Houston, Texas, will feature the following confirmed starting line-ups:
Netherlands: Verbruggen; Van Dijk, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Dumfries; Gravenberch, Reinjders, De Jong, Gakpo, Brobbey, and Malen.
Koeman has made just one alteration to the lineup from their first match, with Brobbey replacing Summerville in attack.
Sweden: Nordfeldt; Lagerbielke, Lindelof, Hien, Gudmunsson, Bernhardsson; Nygren, Kallstrom, Ayari; Isak, and Gyokeres.
Graham Potter has opted to retain the same starting eleven that secured victory on matchday one.
The contest promises to be a crucial one for both teams as they look to secure a stronger foothold in the group stage.
