Wednesday night brings us further action from the Nations League and a League A Group 4 clash between Wales and Netherlands at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff with the hosts in jubilant mood having secured their place in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
A narrow but hard-fought 1-0 home win over Ukraine was enough to end Wales’s World Cup nightmare and also end a 64-year drought in terms of joining the elite on the international stage and the hosts will be confident that they can build upon this result when they play host to Netherlands on Wednesday night.

It’s back to business though in the Nations League and Wales will be eager to put a disappointing performance against Poland behind them following defeat to the Poles in the group opener, losing 2-1 away from home.
Wales return to home soil for this upcoming clash though and they can once again count on their boisterous home crowd.
The hosts look to extend their run of just one defeat in their last 11 matches in all competitions.
Onto Netherlands and they started their Nations League campaign with all three points after they registered an impressive and comprehensive dismantling of Belgium 4-1 away from home.
So the visitors will also be in confident mood ahead of their trip to Cardiff on Wednesday.
That result not only extended the Oranje’s unbeaten run to 10 games overall but it was also a real statement of intent as the Dutch look to sweep aside numerous disappointments and setbacks in recent years on the international stage and mark their return to form with another win at the Principality Stadium.
Form and result away from home have also been impressive where Netherlands are concerned as the visitors have suffered just one defeat out of their last 14 outings on the road.
While eight of these 14 away games have also seen both teams score.
The Dutch also seemingly have history on their side as well prior to this upcoming League A clash as they have won each of the previous eight meetings against the Welsh and they will be looking to sweep aside their opponents once again in this tussle as well.
However, Wales have proved they can cope with some strong nations in Europe and both teams could notch here as a result.
