They&#8217;ve scored 18 goals in their last five matches and conceded only four times, scoring an average of 3.6 goals per game.

They currently top Group G, winning 13 points from a possible 13 and scoring 18 goals. Those victories have come against Finland, Malta (twice) and Lithuania and, when adding their draw with Poland, have put them on the edge of qualification for next summer&#8217;s World Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finland have performed well in their campaign, currently sitting in third position, level on points with Poland but behind on goal difference. Losses against Poland and Netherlands have left them battling it out for a playoff place but, having played a game more than Poland, will need results to go in their favour. A win against Lithuania in their last outing gave them a boost but they really need a result here to keep in touch with the two teams at the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-world-cup-qualifying-standings\">World Cup qualifying standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team (Group G)<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pos<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GF<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GA<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GD<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Netherlands<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">18<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+15<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team (Group G)<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pos<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GF<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GA<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GD<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Finland<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-netherlands-team-news\">Netherlands team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Memphis Depay will be hoping to increase his tally for his country, having become Netherlands record goalscorer recently scoring 52 goals in 104 appearances. There could be a first cap for Robin Roefs, with the Sunderland goalkeeper receiving his first call up, whilst there is plenty of other Premier League interest elsewhere including Virgil van Dijk, Jurrien Timber, Xavi Simons and Cody Gakpo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finland-team-news\">Finland team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teemu Pukki should take one step closer to becoming the record appearance holder for Finland, winning his 132nd cap and gaining ground on Jari Litmanen, who has 137 caps. There are no players from the Premier League within the Finland squad but Viljami Sinisalo, Oliver Antman and Topi Keskinen all ply their trade in the Scottish Premiership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head-last-5-meetings\">Head to head: Last 5 meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netherlands have won the previous five meetings between the two nations, scoring 13 goals along the way.
