Netherlands take on already eliminated hosts Qatar in their final Group A game looking to seal their spot in the last 16 as group winners.
The Dutch won their opening game 2-0 against Senegal before playing out to a 1-1 draw with Ecuador.
Nevertheless, they remain atop Group A with 4 points, though they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, they have finished second and third in their last two tournaments.
First place would see them take on the runner-up in Group B, which will be either England, Iran, USA or Wales, with all four sides still battling to qualify.
Qatar on the other hand have lost both their opening games, 2-0 to Ecuador before a 3-1 defeat to Senegal in their second game.
The hosts, who have been competing in the finals of a World Cup for the first time, are only playing for pride now and will look to at least get a goal in the game.
This is the Netherlands’ fourth match against a host nation in the FIFA World Cup – they have won two of their three such matches in the competition so far.
The Dutch have managed only four shots on target at this year’s World Cup but have scored three goals from these four attempts.
