Jong Oranje face decisive Bosnia qualifier with second place at stake
The Netherlands Under-21s must improve their position in the final group match as Israel face leaders Norway at the same time.
Jong Oranje enter their final European Championship qualifier knowing that second place remains within reach. The Netherlands Under-21s are third in the group, one point behind Israel, while finishing top is no longer possible.
Israel will play group leaders Norway at the same time as the Dutch side host Bosnia and Herzegovina. That leaves the Netherlands needing to better Israel’s position in the standings during a decisive final round of fixtures. Securing second place is crucial because the best runners-up qualify directly for the European Championship, while the remaining second-placed teams advance to the play-offs. Voetbal International reports that a play-off place is the most likely outcome for the runners-up in this particular group.
The match between Jong Oranje and Bosnia and Herzegovina kicks off at 18:45 on Tuesday 6 October and will be shown live on ESPN 1. The broadcaster’s build-up begins at 18:15, with post-match coverage scheduled to continue until 21:15.
ESPN 1 is available through several Dutch television providers, including channel 14 on KPN, 18 on Ziggo, 150 on Odido, 318 on Caiway, 421 on DELTA and 29 on Canal Digitaal. Voetbal International notes that the channel is accessible without an additional charge for many viewers.
