After demolishing the reigning world champions in their first match of the FIFA World Cup 2014, Netherlands on Wednesday take on Australia in their second Group B encounter at the Estádio José Pinheiro Borba in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
Australia lost their first match against a strong-looking Chile outfit, and will be under the pump to keep at bay a super-charged Dutch attack. There is no team in the World Cup that is as confident as the Netherlands right now after the 2010 finalists absolutely demolished the World and European champions Spain with a decisive win of 5-1. However, if the Oranje want to secure their ticket to the Round of 16 they will need to keep their heads together as Australia could suddenly end their celebrations.

Australia manager Ange Postecoglou will be eagerly looking for a result and will have to do without defender Ivan Franjic who was ruled out of the tournament after a hamstring strain suffered against Chile. Ryan McGowan will take his place at the back but much will be expected by the experience of former Everton forward Tim Cahill.
