The Netherlands prepares steamroller for Gibraltar
7:00 am – At the beginning of every day FCUpdate.nl publishes its own timetable. With a handy overview we map out what will be the news of the day, which specials will be online, which duels are on the program and what kind of football is on TV. This is what you can expect on Monday 11 October.
Matches
Netherlands – Gibraltar (8:45 p.m.)
After the difficult 0-1 victory over Latvia, Louis van Gaal now has a match that requires an abacus. The first game was played under Frank de Boer and despite a very mediocre first half of the Dutch national team, the score was 0-7. How much will it be in De Kuip this time and will we see other faces in Louis van Gaal’s team?
Ivory Coast – Malawi (6 pm)
With Ibrahim Sangaré, Ivory Coast won 0-3 against Malawi a few days ago and just like with PSV in recent weeks, the midfielder developed. Ajax striker Sébastien Haller missed that match because of the birth of his child. It is still unknown whether he will be able to join this time. But even without the strong attacker, the return match must also be easily won by Ivory Coast.
Norway – Montenegro (8:45 PM)
Without super striker Erling Haaland, Norway lost on expensive points at Turkey and from a Dutch perspective it would be beneficial if that happened at home against Montenegro. They also play for second place and can hope for a place behind the Netherlands if they win in Norway. If Norway should indeed win, the Orange will usually have to make a good effort to win.
