Preview
Wales head into this after a sensational 1-0 win over Ukraine in their WCQ final, which ensured a place in the Qatar event later this year.
Yarmolenko’s first half own goal was enough to help Wales reach their first WC since 1958 as the Cardiff City Stadium witnessed pandemonium at full time.
Bale described it as the nation’s greatest result ever as the Welsh side reached the WC 2022.
They now shift their focus back to the Nations League, where they suffered a 2-1 loss to Poland on MD 1 and eye a winning return.
On the other hand, Netherlands beat Belgium 4-1 away from home convincingly to kick start their campaign in style.

Prediction: Wales 1-2 Netherlands
We expect an intense affair with emotions riding here after recent successes.
Wales at home with the bustling crowd support could be given the advantage of starting well.
However, Netherlands has been playing well in recent weeks and have the quality to turn it on. The Oranje should prevail by the odd goal in this one due to the experience they possess.
