Group F is finely poised after matchday one, ensuring the stakes are sky high for the Netherlands and Sweden ahead of Saturday’s clash.

The Netherlands could only manage a draw from its opening match with Japan, twice surrendering leads to miss out on victory. Sweden made no such mistake, however, firing five past Tunisia as it flexed its attacking muscles.

Despite Sweden’s goal-laden win, propelling it to the summit of Group F, it’s the Dutch who remain favorites for the upcoming match and to ultimately sew up first place. If the Scandinavians can defy expectations and clinch victory on Saturday, they will book their place in the last 32.

Here’s how to watch an intriguing battle.
