The Netherlands and Norway both qualified for the 2026 World Cup in fine style and their preparations for this summer's tournament continue with a friendly fixture in Amsterdam.
Ronald Koeman's Oranje were held to 1-1 draws at home and away by Poland in Group G but they won their other six games by an aggregate score of 25-2.
Norway were emphatic winners of Group I, racking up eight victories in eight games to condemn Italy to the play-offs, but star men Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard are unavailable on Friday.

Prediction
The Netherlands reached the semi-finals at Euro 2024, losing 2-1 to England, and they also impressed in an epic Nations League quarter-final tie against Spain in March 2025.
La Roja, favourites to win the 2026 World Cup, needed penalties to see off the Dutch after a thrilling 5-5 aggregate draw over two legs.
The Netherlands had few problems securing their place at the World Cup and their home results in qualifying Group G including an 8-0 rout of Malta and 4-0 victories against Finland and Lithuania.
They should keep morale high with an entertaining friendly win against Norway, who cruised through their qualifying group, scoring 37 goals in eight games.
A 3-0 home win over Italy, an 11-1 drubbing of Moldova and a 4-1 away victory against the Azzurri were the highlights of Norway's campaign but they have kept only one clean sheet in their last five games.
That run includes October's 1-1 friendly draw with New Zealand in Oslo, where Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard were among the absentees.
The Manchester City striker and the Arsenal captain will not be involved in Friday's contest either and a 3-1 victory for the Netherlands is worth chancing in the correct-score market.
Dutch boss Koeman has a far deeper squad than his Norwegian counterpart Stale Solbakken.?
Arsenal's Jurrien Timber has pulled out due to an injury but fellow Premier League stars Virgil van Dijk, Jeremie Frimpong, Ryan Gravenberch, Tijjani Reijnders, Xavi Simons and Cody Gakpo – along with fit-again Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries – can power the Dutch to victory.
