After a strong European Championship showing, the Netherlands will be aiming to impress in the UEFA Nations League and they will hope to get off to a winning start when they host Bosnia-Herzegovina this weekend.
The Dutch reached the semi-finals of this summer's Euros - losing to England thanks to a 90th-minute Ollie Watkins winner - and also finished fourth in the last Nations League tournament in 2023.
Bosnia-Herzegovina, meanwhile, finished fifth in their group in qualifying for the European Championship - only above minnows Liechtenstein - and have lost each of their last six internationals.
Netherlands v Bosnia-Herzegovina is not available to watch live in the UK during this round of Nations League fixtures.
Netherlands v Bosnia-Herzegovina will take place at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven on Saturday 7th September 2024, with kick-off set for 19:45 BST.
These two nations have only met twice before - with both encounters coming in the 2020/21 Nations League - with the Dutch winning the home fixture 3-1 and taking a point from the away match following a goalless draw.
Ronald Koeman’s men have won each of their last four home matches across all competitions, while Bosnia have triumphed in just one of their last 12 on the road, including losing seven of their previous eight.

Neither Memphis Depay nor Steven Bergwijn have been selected by Koeman, so at least one of Brian Brobbey, Joshua Zirkzee or Wout Weghorst will start in the final third for the Oranje.
Bosnia’s record goalscorer Edin Dzeko is once again available for selection after missing their recent 1-0 defeat to Italy through injury, while midfielders Ifet Djakovac and Esmir Bajraktarevic will be hoping to make their international debuts.
