The third round of the Qatar World Cup group stage will begin tonight. The Netherlands leads Group A with 4 points, followed by Ecuador (4 points), Senegal (3 points), hosts Qatar (0 points).
The Netherlands has 1 win and 1 draw, first place, meaning that the Netherlands has qualified. It doesn’t matter who wins or draws in the third round matches in this group, the Netherlands will be ranked 2nd at a minimum.
While hosts Qatar have lost their previous two matches. Only 1 goal scored, and has conceded 5 goals. Qatar definitely has no chance of qualifying for the round of 16.
In terms of performance, the Orange team is far above Qatar. However, Louis van Gaal will not underestimate his opponent. The Oranje squad will definitely field the best players while taking care not to get injured players in preparation for the knockout stages.
The former Ajax Amsterdam coach is aiming to win group A so that later he can face the runners-up in group B. It is estimated that England could win group B, so the chances of the Netherlands vs. England meeting in the knockout system are slim.
Qatar itself has been confirmed not to qualify for the next round, and became the first team to lift the suitcase. Qatar also became the first World Cup host to lose the opening party.
The Netherlands and Qatar have never dueled each other before. Even though the Netherlands are the favorites to get 3 points, Qatar will play all out to win their first World Cup, especially since Félix Sánchez Bas’s squad are the hosts.
