Netherlands are set to host Greece in a UEFA European Championship qualification game at the Philips Stadion on Thursday.
Ronald Koeman replaced Louis van Gaal as the Oranje boss ahead of the Euro qualifiers, losing 4-0 to France and picking up a 3-0 win over Gibraltar. However, the last two outings in the Nations League ended in defeats against Croatia and Italy.
Hence, just like Greece would be looking towards to advancing to the Euro 2024 tournament via the Nations League play-offs if need be, the Sky Blues and Whites are three points ahead of Thursday's opponents in Group B (W2 D0 L1).
