Netherlands vs Sweden: Pre-Match Opta Facts
- Netherlands and Sweden will meet at the men’s World Cup for the second time. Their first encounter, in the 1974 group stage, ended 0-0 and featured Johan Cruyff’s famous ‘Cruyff turn’ – one of 11 successful dribbles in the match, the joint-most by any player in a game at that tournament.
- Netherlands have avoided defeat in their last 13 World Cup games (W8 D5), since their 1-0 final loss to Spain in 2010; it’s the joint-longest unbeaten run by any side in the tournament’s history – alongside Brazil between 1958 and 1966 (W11 D2).
- Following their 5-1 victory over Tunisia on MD1, Sweden are attempting to win both of their opening two group stage matches for just the second time at an edition of the World Cup, after doing so in 1958.
- Netherlands have drawn both of their last two games at the World Cup, both by a 2-2 scoreline (vs Argentina in 2022 & Japan in 2026). Meanwhile, they have only once previously failed to win three successive matches in the competition (a run of 5 between 1978 – 1990).
