Netherlands: WWWWDD

After winning their first four qualifying matches, the Netherlands played in two friendlies against fellow European powerhouses, Germany and Italy. 

Against Germany on Nov. 14, 2012, the Oranje played to a scoreless draw in front of their home supporters in Amsterdam. In February against Italy, the Oranje played to a 1-1 draw with Jeremain Lens scoring the only Dutch goal in the 33rd minute. 

Estonia: LLWWLL

After picking up their first win in qualifying against lowly Andorra in front of just 723 people on Oct. 16, Estonia played in three friendlies against three unique opponents.

Andorra defeated Oman on Nov. 8 thanks to late goals by Henri Anier and Gert Kams. Since the win over Oman, the Blueshirts lost to the United Arab Emirates and Scotland. 

 

What's At Stake

The Netherlands are beginning to run away with the Group D title and a win over Estonia would distance the Oranje from Hungary and Romania, two teams that face each other on Friday. 

If Estonia can come away with a point from Amsterdam on Friday, it would be deemed a total shock. With Turkey expected to beat Andorra, Estonia could fall far behind the rest of their rivals for second place in the group with a loss.
