Netherlands know their history in the tournament, a team to not have won the FIFA World Cup despite being deserving candidates. They will look to correct history now.
Oranje have had a very productive year up until now and they are undefeated this year. They will like to carry forward the momentum. In their last match in September 2022 they defeated Belgium 1-0 in the Nations League.
Manager Louis van Gaal might use a 3-4-1-2 system on Monday against Senegal to get three points playing attacking.
On the other hand, Senegal are ready for this one to go far beyond and claim their maiden world cup trophy. They did well in 2002 and will be encouraged.
