Latest Netherlands vs Hungary team information
The Netherlands' defence is in trouble ahead of November's Nations League decider with Micky van de Ven, Nathan Ake, Lutsharel Geertruida and Ian Maatsen all missing. However, Arsenal's Jurrien Timber is back after missing out in October.

The bad news for the Netherlands is that midfielder Frenkie de Jong was forced off in the first half of Barcelona's defeat to Real Sociedad, but his injury is a minor shin sprain, not an ankle injury, and he should be fit to play. De Jong is likely to partner Ryan Gravenberch in the midfield duo, while RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons is out due to ankle surgery.
For Hungary, veteran defender Attila Fiola is absent through suspension, giving Marton Dardai a chance to play in the heart of defence. Up front, Szoboszlai will make his 50th appearance for the national team, despite competing with Curtis Jones for a starting spot at Liverpool. He is certain to play in one of the two No. 10 positions. Roland Sallai, who has 14 goals like Szoboszlai, will support Ferencvaros striker Barnabas Varga.
Latest predicted lineup for Netherlands vs Hungary
Netherlands:
Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Hato; De Jong, Gravenberch; Malen, Reijnders, Gakpo; Weghorst
Hungary:
Dibusz; Dardai, Orban, Botka; Bolla, Nikitscher, Schafer, Kerkez; Sallai, Szoboszlai; Varga
Latest football commentary Netherlands vs Hungary
Despite a 5-2 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina in their opening game, the Netherlands have struggled to maintain consistent form and have failed to win in their last three Nations League games. However, they still retain the right to decide with five points from four games, finishing second, ahead of Hungary on goal difference. With Bosnia bottom of the group, the Netherlands will secure a quarter-final place if they beat Hungary at the weekend. However, a defeat would put them at risk of relegation to League B. If they win, the Netherlands could consider their match against Bosnia on 19 November as unimportant.

Hungary, who finished third with a similar record to the Netherlands (W1 D2 L1), also need a win to reach the quarter-finals. Despite a 5-0 defeat to Germany in their opening game, Hungary are unbeaten in their last three games, including a 2-0 win over Bosnia with a Dominik Szoboszlai brace. Beating the Netherlands would keep alive Hungary's hopes of reaching the quarter-finals, a big step up from League C in the 2018-19 Nations League. A 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in October ended a run of nine straight defeats, but Hungary have not beaten the Netherlands away from home since 1984.
