Wales will host the Netherlands at the Cardiff City Stadium in their second game of the UEFA Nations League. Wales lost their first game in the Nations League to Poland. However, they won their last game was against Ukraine in the World Cup qualifier playoffs where they defeated Ukraine 1-0 to confirm their place in this year’s FIFA World Cup.
Netherlands also won their last game as they smashed Belgium 4-1. Both teams are coming into the game on the back of impressive wins, but given that Wales did lose their opening game in the Nations League to Poland before winning against Ukraine, they are slight underdogs for this fixture .
Let’s have a look at the best players to pick for your fantasy team on BalleBaazi.
Goalkeeper
Wayne Hennessey – 8.5
Wayne Hennessey was outstanding against Ukraine as he helped his side see out a crucial 1-0 win.
Ukraine created more chances than Wales and dominated the game and had 68% possession and 9 shots on target. Hennessey made 9 saves on the night to keep a massively significant clean sheet. 4 of his saves were against shots taken from the inside of the box, and he also recorded an impressive 8 successful long balls.
With Wales facing another side who are experts in keeping the ball, Wales will need Hennessey to have another solid game against Netherlands.

Virgil Van Dijk – 9
Virgil Van Dijk had a good game in the heart of the Netherlands defence against Belgium. He played the full ninety minutes and captained the team as they recorded an emphatic win against Belgium.
He made 8 clearances on the night with 1 interception as well. He was also the key for Netherlands to play out from the back and registered a 90% passing accuracy with 5 accurate long balls.
Daley Blind – 8.5
One of the best performances in the game against Belgium for the Netherlands was by their experienced stalwart Daley Blind. Despite his age, he is an incredibly effective player with excellent versatility as well.
He played as a defensive wing-back against Belgium, but his performance in attack was exceptional. He bagged up 2 assists and completed 4 key passes. He also had a solid game defensively, and registered 1 interception and 1 tackle against the Belgians.
Ben Davies – 8.5
Ben Davies is one of the most important figures in this Wales side. He was another player who put in solid defensive performance in a game where Wales had to suffer without the ball against Ukraine.
Davies completed 2 clearances, 1 tackle and an impressive 4 tackles against Ukraine. He also blocked 2 shots and wasn’t dribbled past even once in the entire game.
Midfielders
Frenkie De Jong – 9.5
