The Netherlands not only have a strong squad and a well-organized system, but they also have the best squad for the tournament. Meanwhile, the African team has a few stars in each position, their biggest star, Sadio Mane, cannot play in this Final Round.

Senegal vs Netherlands squad information
In fact, the Netherlands are not really comfortable before this match because they lost their most important striker, Memphis Depay, due to a muscle injury. In the role of a player who makes a difference on the wing, who has the greatest influence on his teammates in attack, Depay - the top scorer of the Netherlands team in the World Cup with 42 goals - will certainly leave a gap that is difficult to fill.
Not to mention De Roon, a very mobile player in midfield, also missed the opportunity to play. Therefore, the Netherlands will have to mobilize inspiration from other factors. Fortunately, they have an extremely effective Cody Gakpo in the role of Depay. Since the beginning of the season, he has only played 17 matches but has scored 12 goals and contributed... 15 assists for PSV. Gakpo promises to bring that form into tonight's match to help the home team overcome Senegal.
