Preview Line Up Formation Netherlands vs Japan Predictions
These two sides have only met once, with the Netherlands winning in a friendly international back in September 2009 (3-0).
Holland have won their three World Cup games against Asian sides, scoring 10 goals in the process.
The Oranje have conceded only two goals in their last five games in World Cup finals.
Japan had only three shots in their win against Cameroon; the fewest by a winning side in the World Cup finals since 1966.
Japan's victory over Cameroon was their first World Cup finals victory outside of their own country.
Japan have faced a European side in the World Cup finals on five previous occasions, winning only once and failing to score in three of those matches.
Six of Japan's last seven goals in World Cup finals have been netted by midfielders, including Keisuke Honda's in the opening game against Cameroon.
Against Denmark, Wesley Sneijder completed 61 of his 65 passes (94 per cent), creating five goalscoring chances for his teammates.
