The Netherlands play an important match against Sweden in the FIFA World Cup after being held to a 2-2 draw by Japan in their opening fixture.
Ronald Koeman's side now face a degree of pressure as they go up against a team coming off a dominant 5-1 victory over Tunisia.
Historically, although the Netherlands reached the final on three separate occasions, most recently in 2010, they have never won the World Cup. They also managed a third-place finish in 2014, while their most recent campaign in 2022 ended with a quarterfinal elimination.
Meanwhile, Sweden's finest moment on the World Cup stage occurred on home soil back in 1958, when they finished as runners-up to Brazil.
While they managed to reach the quarterfinals of the 2018 tournament, the national team subsequently hit a rough patch and failed to qualify for the 2022 finals altogether
The Netherlands holds the advantage in their historic head-to-head record against Sweden, securing 12 victories across 25 meetings in all competitions. While the Dutch have controlled much of the narrative, Sweden has still managed to hand them eight defeats, with the remaining five matches ending in draws.
