Match Preview
The Netherlands is still in contention for a World Cup spot but has had several disappointing results throughout these qualifiers. Oranje is currently fourth in Group A with 10 points, six points behind first-place France and three points behind Sweden in second.
Holland is coming off a 4-0 defeat against France and suffered a 2-0 loss against Bulgaria earlier in this competition. This should be a very tough match despite the home-field advantage especially with the team in very poor form coming into the game.
Bulgaria has been of the more surprising teams in these qualifiers and a reason why Group A has been such a contested group so far. The Lions are currently third in Group A with 12 points and a win would be monumental to keep competing against Sweden and France.
The latest result for the Eastern European side was a very nice 3-2 win against Sweden at home and should be motivated heading into this game. The game should be one of the most hard-fought this Sunday with no clear winner heading into the match and should have a few goals in it.
