NETHERLANDS v CZECH REPUBLIC BETTING PREVIEW

Netherlands halted a two-match losing streak with a 2-1 win in Kazakhstan on Saturday to hand Blind his first win as Holland coach. They have surprisingly crumbled in their qualifying campaign for Euro 2016. The Oranje sit fourth, two points behind third-placed Turkey, and now need to get all three points here while hoping that Turkey lose at home to Iceland.

Manager Danny Blind will be without goalkeepers Jasper Cillesen and Tim Krul and this means that PSV's Jeroen Zoet will start between the posts. Gregory van der Wiel is available after suspension but they are also going to be without injured players Arjen Robben, Quincy Promes, Kevin Strootman, Stefan de Vrij and Jetro Willems. Up front Klaas-Jan Huntelaar will be flanked Memphis Depay and Ajax talent Anwar El Ghazi.

The Czech Republic, who have won three and lost one of their four away qualifiers, have already qualified for the European Championship with six wins from nine so far. Last time out however they were beaten 2-0 by Turkey, a result which leaves them one point adrift of Iceland heading into the final games of the group.

Czech coach Pavel Vrba made changes to his starting XI in that game, with captain Petr Cech among those rested. Midfielder Borel Dockal is banned while forward David Lafata has failed to make the trip due to a minor injury, with Tomas Necid and Milan Skoda both expected to start.

Netherlands were beaten 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the start of qualifying but they beat the Czech Republic 2-0 on their last visit to Netherlands in September 2004.
