As of the ninth matchday in Group B for Euro 2024 qualification, the Dutch side welcomes Ireland to the Johan Cruyff Arena, the home ground of Ajax, in a pivotal match that could shape the final standings and the path to Germany 2024. This confrontation sits at a moment when the Dutch are pressing hard to carve out a more secure place in the table.
France currently leads the group, having asserted control with a recent victory that left the Dutch trailing by a dozen points. With the table showing clear gaps, the Netherlands depend on other results and their own consistency to close the gap.

With six points accrued, they enter the final phase of the campaign with the weekend as their last scheduled action before the schedule takes a break. The Irish camp and supporters will be focused on finishing strong and collecting pride from a campaign that has had its ups and downs.
