Preview: Netherlands v Denmark

A highly rated Dutch would face a well-organised Denmark in a potential great game of football. Both sides have injury problems. Danish are without hit-man Bendtner and doubtful over keeper Sorensen and influential center back Kjaer while the Dutch would miss their in-form star forward Arjen Robben. Anyway this could still be a very good match to watch as both sides will provide some good piece of football. Experienced Tomasson, Gronkjaer and Rommedahl would lead charge of Danish front line against the mediocre Dutch defence lead by Mathijsen and Heitinga. The focus of the match is of course whether the creative Sneijder, van der Vaart, Kuyt and van Persie could break Agger and mates. I would fancy the Dutch to get a couple of goals today once De Jong and van Bommel stamp their authority in midfield. Some resistance would be provided but the Dutch shoud seized through.

Man to watch (Netherlands) - Robin van Persie
Without Robben, he is perhaps the best bet for the Dutch to get some goals. He is in his top form recently, and could possess big trouble to Denmark.

Man to watch (Denmark) - Daniel Agger
The Liverpool man has to perform at his top level to stop the Dutch especially when his partner Kjaer is doubtful with injury.

Prediction: Netherlands to win 2-0
