Latest information on the Netherlands vs Hungary squad

The Netherlands' defense faces difficulties ahead of the crucial Nations League match in November with Micky van de Ven, Nathan Ake, Lutsharel Geertruida and Ian Maatsen all absent. However, Arsenal's Jurrien Timber returns after missing October.

Bad news for the Netherlands: midfielder Frenkie de Jong had to leave the field in the first half of Barcelona's defeat to Real Sociedad, but his injury was only a minor shin injury, not an ankle injury, and he should be fit to play. De Jong is likely to partner Ryan Gravenberch in midfield, while RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons will be unavailable due to ankle surgery.

On the Hungarian side, veteran defender Attila Fiola is absent due to suspension, giving Marton Dardai a chance in the heart of the defense. In attack, Szoboszlai will be making his 50th appearance for the national team, despite competing with Curtis Jones for a starting spot at Liverpool. He will almost certainly play in one of the two number 10 positions. Roland Sallai, who has 14 goals like Szoboszlai, will support striker Barnabas Varga of Ferencvaros.

Latest predicted lineups 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 match prediction: Netherlands vs Hungary

Despite a resounding 5-2 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in their opening match, the Netherlands have not maintained consistent form and have failed to win in their last three Nations League games. However, they still hold their fate in their own hands with 5 points from 4 matches, placing them second, ahead of Hungary on goal difference. With Bosnia at the bottom of the table, the Netherlands will be guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals if they beat Hungary this weekend. However, a defeat would put them at risk of relegation to League B. A win would allow the Netherlands to consider their match against Bosnia on November 19th less important.

Hungary, currently third with a similar record to the Netherlands (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss), also needs a win to reach the quarter-finals. Despite a 5-0 defeat to Germany in their opening match, Hungary has been unbeaten in their last three games, including a 2-0 victory over Bosnia with a brace from Dominik Szoboszlai. A win against the Netherlands would keep Hungary's hopes of reaching the quarter-finals alive, a significant step up from League C in the 2018-19 Nations League season. Their 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in October ended a nine-match losing streak, but Hungary hasn't beaten the Netherlands away from home since 1984.
