This feels like a massive match for the Netherlands.

Now, that may sound strange given they have only played once this tournament, and didn't even lose. But despite this being a bigger World Cup than ever, if Ronald Koeman's side fail to win tonight, they could be in danger.

Personally, I'm pretty sure if they get a draw, they will easily get past Tunisia and book a place in the knockout stages. However, they don't want to cut it that close; they don't need that tension next week.

On their day, the Dutch can beat almost anybody, and you'd still call them the favourites going into this game. But with how Sweden performed the other night, you just never know.

It could be make or break for Koeman and his players.
