What is the current position of Netherlands and Belgium in the FIFA World Ranking?

Despite an upturn in form since their failure to qualify for Russia 2018, Netherlands did not move up the table in FIFA's September ranking, remaining in 17th spot. Hazard and Co., on the other hand, moved up one spot to become the joint-highest ranked team in the world, alongside France.

Players to watch

Memphis Depay

The Lyon ace has only scored two goals and assisted three for club and country this season, but Depay is proving key to Netherlands' renaissance. He was the inspiration in their unforgettable 3-0 win over Germany, winning Man of the Match on that night.

Romelu Lukaku

Hazard might be the most in-form Belgian at the moment, but Lukaku is the one to watch. Despite his indifferent form with Man United, the striker continues to bang goals for fun with his national side.
