Oranje, unbeaten in the group, will seek to assert themselves as they face a Hungary side struggling to find their footing in the tournament.
Hungary, on the other hand, will aim to capitalise on their impressive home record in an attempt to upset their favoured visitors in a game that will see their skipper, Szoboszlai face his Liverpool teammates in Van Dijk and Gakpo.

Hungary has yet to win a match in the group stage, suffering a 5-0 defeat to Germany and a goalless draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
However, Marco Rossi's side boasts an impressive home record, with nine wins in their last eleven games. Hungary will hope that their solid performances at home can inspire a shock result against the Dutch.
Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai, Hungary's captain, will be key to any hopes of upsetting their opponents. The Magyars will need to tighten their defence, as they have conceded 12 goals in their last seven games.
