The Oranje opened their World Cup campaign with a 2-2 draw against Japan, conceding a late goal that prevented Ronald Koeman’s side from collecting all three points. Despite the setback, the Netherlands remain among the favorites to advance from Group F and will look to take a major step toward the knockout stage with a win.
Sweden enter the contest full of confidence after a dominant 5-1 victory over Tunisia. Premier League stars Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, and Yasin Ayari all found the net in the opener, giving Graham Potter’s squad early momentum heading into what is expected to be a much tougher test at Houston Stadium.
