Xavi Hernandez enjoyed a solid start as Dutch boss in the previous window with two draws and two wins as part of an unbeaten four-match streak.

A win over Greece will effectively book their place in the 2027 quarter finals with the visitors on course to battle Germany for a playoff spot.

Xavi is already without his captain Virgil van Dijk due to injury, alongside fellow Liverpool star Ryan Gravenberch, and Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey.
