The assignment is simple for the Netherlands; avoid defeat against Qatar and they are through to the last 16 of the World Cup.

Louis van Gaal’s team haven’t exactly set the tournament alight but four points from games against Senegal and Ecuador have them on the brink of progressing from Group A.

Despite their limp attacking performances, the Netherlands will fancy their chances of sticking a few goals past Qatar to progress as group winners because the hosts have fallen well short of the standard required.

They failed to have a shot on target against Ecuador in the first match of the tournament before suffering a 3-1 defeat to Senegal last Friday, which confirmed their early elimination.

Qatar are now playing for pride and to avoid becoming the first hosts in World Cup history to fail to pick up a single point.
