Can Netherlands round things off in style?
The Netherlands have enjoyed a stunning Nations League campaign to date and they will be looking to finish with a flourish when they host Belgium on Sunday evening at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
So far, the Oranje have picked up 13 points from a maximum 15, and they are now unbeaten in their past 14 matches under the stewardship of Louis van Gaal.

As far as the permutations are concerned, the Dutch know that just a solitary point against Belgium will be enough to punch their ticket to the Nations League Finals next summer.
Belgium, meanwhile, are still in the hunt for the top spot, and they kept their hopes alive with a 2-1 win over Wales.
Although the Netherlands have some injury concerns, including Memphis Depay, Van Gaal’s troops will want to leave everything on the line against the Red Devils.
But how will things unfold? To whet your appetite ahead of this showdown, we have handpicked a couple of tips for you to bear in mind.
Netherlands to nick tight affair
When the two sides last met, Belgium were very open at the back, and they were humbled 4-1 by the Netherlands. For the Belgians, it was their first defeat in nine matches, and their cloak of invincibility slipped off in the process.
Perhaps there is more on the line for the Netherlands, although as suggested, a point will be enough to get the job done.
Against Poland earlier in the week, the Netherlands were in cruise control. They ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, monopolising possession, and amassing 10 attempts.
While keeping clean sheets has been hard to come by for the Netherlands this calendar year, I fancy them to nick this game 1-0 and get their first victory over the Belgians at home in 25 years. If you wish to follow up on that in the Correct Score section, then bet365 is offering a tempting-looking price of 17/2.

Oranje to have late drama
While it has been a period of transition over the past few years, Van Gaal has revived the Netherlands, and they look like a different proposition.
Steven Bergwijn, for example, has looked revitalised, and that has crossed over onto the international stage.
Earlier this week, Bergwijn produced an eye-catching display and grabbed a goal against Poland, and he is usually a livewire.
He will have fond memories of facing Belgium and he could well make the difference. But if you like a special, then you can get odds of 15/2 for the Netherlands with William Hill to score the only goal of the game between the 76th and 90th minutes, which may be worth pursuing.
