 Netherlands boss Louis Van Gaal will be without star striker Memphis Depay, who has been ruled out of the game due to an injury.

Martin de Roon and Denzel Dumfries are the two other players who are doubtful for the clash, with Van Gaal otherwise able to call upon a fully fit squad.


TALKING POINTS

–  This will be the first ever encounter between Senegal and the Netherlands. The Dutch are unbeaten against African opposition at the FIFA World Cup (W3 D1), whilst Senegal have never tasted defeat when facing European opposition in the group phase of the competition (W2 D1).

– The Netherlands are unbeaten in their last eight opening matches at the FIFA World Cup (W6 D2), whilst Senegal have won both of their openers in the tournament (1-0 v France in 2002, 2-1 v Poland in 2018)

– None of Senegal’s eight matches at the FIFA World Cup have ended goalless. Their only clean sheet dates back to their first ever match in the competition, in May 2002 against France (1-0).

– This is Senegal’s third appearance at the FIFA World Cup. The Africa Cup of Nations defending champions reached the quarter-finals in 2002 before being knocked out in the group stages in 2018.

– The Netherlands have won 11 of their last 14 matches at the FIFA World Cup, penalty shoot-outs excluded (D2 L1). Their only defeat in that time was the 2010 final against Spain (0-1 after extra-time), while, their last defeat in a group game was back in 1994 against Belgium (0-1).
