Netherlands' hopes of making it to Euro 2016 hang by a thread with the Oranje having lost both of their last two matches. They were against Turkey last time out in a match described as a do and die situation for Danny Blind's men.
They however failed to rise to the occasion and suffered a 3-0 loss which has put their progression to the illustrious tournament in jeopardy. Midfielder Wesley Sneijder has stressed on the importance of the upcoming matches against Kazakhstan and Czech Republic and has described the matches as "two finals."
The former Madrid man has stressed on the importance of claiming maximum points in the upcoming matches. The Dutch however have their fate out of their hands and will be counting on things to go in their favor at Turkey's expense.
"We need to get six points, it's as simple as that," he said. "We've said a couple of times now that there are two finals on the programme, but now it really has come to that.
"These are the last two matches. We just have to win and wait for Turkey's results."
Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk has accepted that his side is to blame for their below par performances but is hopeful they can put things right.
"Oranje only have one goal, and that's to qualify for the European Championship," he said. "We have to win our next two games, it doesn't matter how. Then we'll see if it's enough.
"It's very annoying that we've let it come to that. But our focus is on the next two games."
Their opponents Kazakhstan on the other hand are rock bottom in Group A and have failed to record any win in the Euro 2016 campaign so far. The home side have lost six and drawn the remaining of their eight matches and are unlikely to pose a major threat to Netherlands. They have further scored just five and conceded 16 goals so far.
Danny Blind will have injury concerns ahead of the match with Newcastle right back Daryl Janmaat ruled out of the tie with a knee injury. Davy Klaassen and Quincy Promes will also miss out with Riechedly Bazoer and Eljero Elia called up as replacements.
