The Netherlands and Algeria meet in an international friendly on Wednesday as both teams continue their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Having already secured qualification for the tournament, the match gives both managers another opportunity to assess their squads ahead of the competition in North America.
The Netherlands arrive in good form under coach Ronald Koeman. Oranje are unbeaten in their last 10 matches and will be looking to continue that run at De Kuip, a venue where they have traditionally enjoyed excellent results.
The Dutch have been drawn in Group F of the World Cup alongside Japan, Sweden and Tunisia, making every preparation match important before the tournament begins.

Meanwhile, Algeria also have plenty of reasons for optimism after securing qualification for their first World Cup since 2014.
Vladimir Petkovic's side have built their success on a solid defensive foundation, keeping clean sheets in five of their last seven matches. However, many of those results came against lower-ranked opposition.
The Desert Foxes will face a tougher challenge at the World Cup, where they have been placed in Group J with Argentina, Jordan and Austria.
