Netherlands to host Greece at Johan Cruijff Arena in fifth UEFA Nations League group game on November 13, 2026

The Netherlands are set to face Greece at the Johan Cruijff Arena on November 13, 2026, in their fifth group-stage match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 campaign.
The Oranje arrive unbeaten since the appointment of their new head coach but with mixed performances. They have drawn with Germany and Greece, while "Xavi’s men" secured a win against Serbia, leaving the Dutch with two wins from their first four games in the competition. Playing at home gives the Netherlands a notable advantage, though the fixture is not expected to be straightforward for the hosts.
Greece began the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 as underdogs but have produced stubborn displays against both Germany and the Netherlands and remain unbeaten in the tournament so far. The Piratiko have registered two wins in the competition and will be aiming to add to that tally; the Ivan Jovanović-led team travel with positive confidence.
One attacking option noted in pre-match coverage is described as a 27-year-old who "has been on a sensational run of form since the beginning of the season," having "displayed strong performances for AS Roma and will now be looking to help the Dutch national football team." Donyell Malen is also expected to play a crucial part in the hosts' forward line and will be relied upon to keep opponents on edge.
For Greece, Vangelis Pavlidis has yet to score in the ongoing UEFA Nations League campaign but is cited as an important presence in the final third who "can help his side by setting up crucial plays in the opponent’s defence." His role in creating chances will be watched as the visitors seek to continue their unbeaten run.
