The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another round of matches as Wales take on the Netherlands on Wednesday, 8 June. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and have a point to prove this week.
The Netherlands, who are at the top of their Nations League group, have been impressive over the past year. The Oranje thrashed Belgium by a 4-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result on Wednesday.
Wales are also riding high at the moment after managing to secure their place in the 2022 World Cup. They edged out Ukraine 1-0 last weekend and will be confident ahead of the fixture.
Wales vs Netherlands Head-to-Head
The Netherlands have an exceptional record against Wales, having won all eight matches between the two teams. Wales are yet to record an official victory against the Dutch and will be eager to create history on Wednesday.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place in 2015 and ended in a 3-2 victory for the Netherlands. Wales were impressive on the day, but will need to be more robust this week.
