Netherlands Vs Morocco Preview
A 2-2 draw with Japan and convincing wins against Sweden (5-1) and Tunisia (3-1) were enough for the Dutch to advance to the Round of 32 as Group F winners. And with that in mind, the Netherlands vs Morocco odds just about favour the Oranje to continue their North American adventure.
As for the Atlas Lions, many may still consider them as World Cup dark horses. However, this is arguably the only time in their history that they are being taken seriously as a genuine contender who could repeat their Qatar heroics. And having earned a draw with Brazil whilst beating Scotland and Haiti, the danger posed is obvious for all to see.
Netherlands Vs Morocco H2H Record
The Netherlands and Morocco have played each other on three separate occasions with the Oranje leading two wins to one. Former Premier League stars Dennis Bergkamp and Bryan Roy netted in their only previous World Cup clash which ended 2-1 in favour of Holland in USA ’94.
Five years later, the Atlas Lions recorded a 2-1 friendly win before the Dutch won the most recent friendly but another 2-1 scoreline in 2017. On that day, Quincy Promes and former Tottenham attacker Vincent Janssen netted in Agadir.

Netherlands Vs Morocco Team News
Although there was an element of doubt surrounding the fitness of Denzel Dumfries and Sunderland star Brian Brobbey, both have been given the thumbs up to feature in Monterrey. In fact, the only expected change from the Tunisia win is Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven stepping back in at the expense of Nathan Ake.
As for Morocco, the quartet of Noussair Mazraoui, Issa Diop, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Azzedine Ounahi are all expected to return to the starting XI. Bayern-bound Ismael Saibari will lead the line whereas superstar full-back Achraf Hakimi will help marshall the backline.
