At the Johan Cruijff Arena, the Netherlands will play their first game in the Frank de Boer season against Mexico in a friendly.
In the September games for the Nations League, the Netherlands prevailed over Poland 1-0, while they lost 0-1 to Italy. In the two matches on the team's bench, the official Lodeveches sat after Kuman's departure. Frank de Boer has now taken over the position of national team coach of the Netherlands with a two-year contract. The new coach will make his official debut in Sunday's game against Bosnia away from home. For the first time, Bizot keepers, defender Vidal and midfielder Koopmainers, both Alkmaar players, were called up to the Oranie's mission. We expect the Netherlands to play more aggressive football with the new coach.
Mexico, on the other hand, play their second friendly today, as they beat Guatemala 3-0 six days ago. At the helm of the team is Tata Martino who wants to see in what condition his players are, and to get in rhythm after a long period of inactivity. It will be followed by another friendly with Algeria next Tuesday. Carlos Rodrεςguez was positive in Covid-19 and was excluded from the mission. Also left out was Lothano of Napoli, who is in quarantine as a precaution.
I expect a game with rhythm, although this is a friendly match that is a test for both the two coaches and the players who will play. I will keep all the corners in the game with the line at over 9.5 at odds of 2,07.
