JAKARTA - The Netherlands received serious threats. If they lose again in the Euro 2024 qualifying match, the hope of qualifying is running low. The match in Group B against Greece at the OPAP Arena, Tuesday, October 17 in the morning WIB will be a decision for both teams. However, the Netherlands believes there is still hope with a record of having to beat Greece.
The Dutch move stalled. Because of this, the Netherlands lost 2-1 at home to France. The defeat made the Dutch ranked down in the standings. Their position was taken over by Greece who successfully beat Ireland 2-0.
The Dutch defeat also led France to win tickets to Germany to compete in the Euro 2024 finals.
Yes, that victory earned Les Bleus 18 points. Even though there are two more matches left, France has confirmed their pass.
This leaves one more ticket in Group B. The Netherlands still has hope of leaving for Germany. But Greece also has a big chance of returning to the European Cup.
Moreover, they have good capital. Victory over Ireland has raised the confidence of Greek players when they host the Netherlands.
The problem is, the Netherlands also has no choice but to win the away game. In order to meet that target, coach Ronald Koeman made changes in the front sector by resting striker Wout Weghorst.
The former Manchester United loan player suffered an injury in the match against France so he was pulled out and replaced by Donyell Malen.
If his condition has not recovered, Weghorst will be forced to pull over and miss this crucial match. On the other hand, Malen, who played brilliantly, will start.
But Koeman will put Malen on the wing with Xavi Simons. They support Ajax Amsterdam striker Steven Bergwijn who spearheaded.
In the middle, Tijjani Reijnders and Joey Marijuman remain the first choice. Likewise Virgil van Dijk will work hand in hand with Nathan Ake. They fortify goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen who stands under the bar.
Greece was in the top of the wind while playing the game at home. If they win against the Netherlands, their chances of qualifying for the finals will open up.
The 2004 European champions last appeared at Euro 2012 with not too bad achievements, reaching the quarter-finals. Coach Gustavo Poyet hopes to bring Greece through to Germany after a long absence.

Poyet's journey with Greece was not easy. Moreover, they met the Dutch again. Although slightly seeded, Poyet could not underestimate the opponent because in the first duel in the Netherlands, they were eliminated 3-0.
This is what makes Poyet vigilant. He may not change the starting line up when he beat Ireland 2-0.
Striker Giorgos Giakoukakis who opened Greece's victory has again started with Georgios Masouras to support Dimitrios Pelkas' centre forward.
The back sector has also not changed. The veteran defender Giorgos Tzavellas is still absent due to a long injury. Thus, the duo of Dinos Mavropanos andori Retsos was defended by Poyet. They fortify the Goalkeeper of the Vlachodimos Odyssey.
Greece is predicted to win at home. Even if they lead up to four goals without reply, Greece will win a ticket to the final round.
However, it is not as easy as improving your hands. The reason is that the Dutch did not want to waste the opportunity to get the three points after swallowing disappointment because they lost at home.

Greece (4-3-3): Vlachodimos; Rota, Retsos, Mavropanos, Tsimikas; Bakasetas, Kourbelis, Mantalas; Masouras, Giakoumakis, Pelkas
