The Netherlands will look to get a World Cup win on the board against a buoyant Sweden at NRG Stadium on Saturday.
Ronald Koeman's side twice led against Japan but were pegged back to a 2-2 draw in their Group F opener.
Sweden had no such problems as they swept to a 5-1 victory over Tunisia in Monterrey.
Another victory would see Graham Potter's men qualify for the knockout stages with a game to spare.
