Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk is expected to stick with the same line-up that faced Denmark in their opening game. Arjen Robben has been training on his own this week as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury and is unlikely to be risked.
Japan coach Takeshi Okada opted for an ultra-defensive 4-1-4-1 formation against Cameroon, and is expected to field the same starting XI against the Dutch.

Holland go into this Durban encounter hoping to improve on their stuttering performance against Denmark. They take on a Japan side who have never made it beyond the group stage but were buoyed by their win over Cameroon in their first game but know that they face a face stiffer task against a Dutch side who are many people’s outside bet for World Cup success.
