The Netherlands find themselves in the unexpected position of trailing Sweden in World Cup Group F following an entertaining stalemate against Japan.
Ronald Koeman's squad took the lead on two separate occasions but ultimately had to settle for a 2–2 draw in their tournament debut. Sweden, meanwhile, cruised to a commanding 5–1 victory over Tunisia — a result so decisive it prompted the defeated side to part ways with their head coach.
Despite heading into Saturday's early fixture two points behind the Swedes, the Netherlands are still considered the favorites in this matchup. While the prospect of Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak operating together is thrilling, it does leave Sweden vulnerable through the middle of the park. Anything short of a full three points may not immediately threaten Koeman's position, but it would place enormous pressure on the Dutch heading into their final group stage clash against Tunisia.
