Netherlands’ Nations League qualification scenarios

The Netherlands were due to play Greece in Amsterdam on Friday and Germany in Berlin on Monday in their final two Nations League group matches. A win over Greece would secure a place in the eight-team knockout round. The reports differ over the implications of a draw or defeat: one says the Netherlands would need to fear relegation play-offs, while another says Germany currently occupies the play-off position. The top two teams reach the knockout round, the bottom team is relegated and the third-placed team enters play-offs to remain in the top division.
