Morocco vs Netherlands LIVE: Team news as Ronald Koeman makes call on key duo for blockbuster World Cup last 32 tie

The Netherlands meet Morocco tonight as they have their World Cup ambitions seriously tested in a blockbuster round of 32 clash.

Morocco, who remarkably reached the semi-finals in 2022, are out to prove that stunning run was no fluke this year, with the Africa Cup of Nations champions impressing in their opening draw with Brazil before beating Scotland and Haiti to qualify as Group C runners-up.

Ronald Koeman’s side have meanwhile found their groove after drawing their opener with Japan, scoring a combined eight goals in emphatic wins over Sweden and Tunisia as they topped their group.

The Dutch are the most infamous international heavyweight to have never won a World Cup but could make a statement towards ending that wait against the Atlas Lions.
