The Dutch are looking to get into the win column. It didn't go as planned for Netherlands in its opening match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, playing to a 2-2 draw against Japan. The Dutch led twice in the contest before conceding a pair of tying goals in what was a thrilling match at Dallas Stadium. Now the Oranje will try to get back on track against the Group F leaders, Sweden. The Swedes bullied Tunisia in their first game, collecting three points in what was a 5-1 victory. A win against the Dutch would win Group F for Sweden, sending them into the Round of 32 after just two games. Netherlands, on the other hand, will try to avoid that disastrous result and the problems that could come with it on a Saturday afternoon in Houston. Here's how Netherlands could line up against Sweden in Houston, Texas, on June 20: Here are the remaining matchups for Netherlands in the group stage of the World Cup: • Netherlands vs. Sweden on June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston. • Netherlands vs. Tunisia on June 25 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. *Geertruida replaced the injured Timber on the roster
