Netherlands vs Finland Live Stream and Match Time for FIFA World Cup Qualifier
The Netherlands will face Finland in a significant FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier in Amsterdam on October 12. This match is pivotal for both teams, particularly for the Finnish side that hopes to secure its first-ever World Cup qualification.
Match Preview: Netherlands vs Finland
Currently leading Group G, the Netherlands holds a three-point advantage over both Finland and Poland. A win against Finland would not only fortify their position but also eliminate Finland from contention for qualification. Last week, the Dutch team displayed a strong performance with a 4-0 victory against Malta, which included two goals from Cody Gakpo.
Netherlands Team Update
Head coach Ronald Koeman is expected to start Memphis Depay, Netherlands’ all-time leading scorer, after he returned to the squad. He scored in the last match against Malta, adding to his tally in the qualifier campaign. Koeman has also made adjustments to the lineup, leaving out several players such as Matthijs de Ligt and Teun Koopmeiners, while adding Mexx Meerdink, who has since withdrawn due to injury.
Finland’s Challenge
Finland, managed by Jacob Friis, arrives in Amsterdam under pressure. They must secure all points to keep their qualification dreams alive. The team will have to compete without defender Robert Ivanov due to suspension, as well as missing captain Lukas Hradecky and midfielder Rasmus Schuller due to injuries.
