NETHERLANDS and Belgium are set to add another chapter to their fierce rivalry this weekend – and its a fixture which promises goals.
There hasn’t been a scoreless draw between these two European giants since a 0-0 back in 1987.
And Oranje ensured that the tradition continued by humiliating Belgium in the reverse fixture earlier on this year.
However, Holland have shockingly failed to beat the Belgians on home soil in their last four attempts.
But Louis van Gaal will feel a little more confident as the Red Devil’s all-time top goal scorer Romelu Lukaku is unavailable due to an ongoing injury.
What time does Netherlands vs Belgium kick off?
- Netherlands will host Belgium on Sunday, September 25.
- It is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm UK time – 8:45pm local time.
- Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands will be the allocated venue for this match and it has a capacity of 55,865.
- Holland embarrassed Belgium 4-1 in the last fixture between these two nations.
