Netherlands face Greece in Nations League finale
Oranje wrap up their Nations League group on Thursday in Thessaloniki, chasing another win over a Greek side they've beaten nine of eleven times.
The Netherlands close out their Nations League group phase on Thursday, 1 October, away to Greece, with kick-off at 20.45 in the Stadio Toumbas in Thessaloniki, home ground of PAOK Saloniki. NPO 3 carries the match live, with a free stream also available via NOS.nl, the NOS app, or a television provider's app. Build-up on the NOS broadcast starts at 20.10, with reaction, footage and interviews running until around 23.25.
It is the third fixture of an extra-long international window for Oranje, who drew 1-1 with Germany before beating Serbia 2-1. Serbia return on the schedule too, at home on Sunday, 4 October.
The Netherlands and Greece have met eleven times, with Oranje winning nine and Greece just once; the aggregate goal difference reads 3-24 in the Dutch side's favour. The two sides last met in the 2023 European Championship qualifiers, when the Dutch won 3-0 at home through goals from Marten de Roon, Cody Gakpo and Wout Weghorst, then 0-1 away on a stoppage-time penalty from Virgil van Dijk. De Roon has since gone on to make 12 appearances for Atalanta, while Weghorst, now 34, moved to FC Twente this summer and has scored seven for his new side.
Greece, Germany, Serbia and the Netherlands make up the group, with the top two through to the knockout stage and the group winner standing to gain an advantage in European Championship qualifying.
